I'll throw in a few more data points.

Other such existing fields that come to mind are Tags, and Vcs-*

Possible new fields that haven't been introduced so far are: Popcon,
Rating, upstream BTS type and URL, extra keywords for full text search
indexing, date+time the package has first entered the archive, and/or
the release; datetime that version of the package has been
built/uploaded.


Ciao,
