Thank you very much. I will upload it today or tomorrow.

The main usage in the moment is to generate some entries on our Blends
package lists. Check f.e.
https://blends.debian.org/astro/tasks/python3#python3- asdf
On this entry, the "Reference", and the "Bugs" and "Git" links in the
"Upstream" section come from this file.
The other fields are still not processed (maybe by other tools); this
may however change in future.

Hmm, which website you mean? The "Homepage" field in
debian/upstream/metadata is obsolete (and not used in blends.d.o/astro),
since it is already in debian/control.
Best regards
