YAML would be fine as well.

IMHO the best thing to read is the code at
svn.debian.org/svn/collab-qa/udd
For something really simple I would advise to read the importer from
data of screenshots.debian.net. It consists of a script which fetches
the json data:
scripts/fetch_screenshots.sh
and a script which imports these data into UDD
udd/screenshot_gatherer.py
This is the typical scheme for all UDD importers but this is a quite
simple one which might properly serve as an example for
upstream-metadata. In the file sql/screenshots.sql you can see the
table definition for the screenshots - this is actually the point I
tried to discuss here: What will be a proper table layout for the
upstream metadata.
BTW, on blends.debian.net I'm running a "test and play around" copy
of UDD (but it needs some updates because I just realised that the
release type was removed - probably I have to recreate the database
so please drop me a note id you want to do serious work there). I
have also a private script which strips down UDD to a size which fits
on my laptop while featuring enough stuff to play around.

Fine.
Kind regards
