Its hard to give a hint.  What information do you *want* to use.  Just
query for the key you consider interesting and present the data?

Go to

   https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamMetadata

add a field (which is the current procedure to define a field) and add
it inside the gatherer udd/upstream_reader.py to the list
"other_known_keys".  These fields are taken over into UDD (to avoid
cluttering UDD by mis-spellings).

Sounds like a perfectly valid application of the procedure I described
above.

Kind regards
