Hi Andreas,
On my side I made a first push to the collab-qa Subversion repository.
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/collab-qa/packages-metadata/
For packages that to not contain copyright or upstream files, the gatherer
creates bogus empty or HTML 404 files; I need to correct this, and then I will
push regularly the gathered changes with a command-restricted passwordless key.

Still, I am disappointed that you ignore the rest of my work. I spent a lot of
days for writing it, and took care of writing documentation. Let's talk about
problems and solve them instead of writing competing implementations. I
understand well the shortcomings you pointed in my work, but for the moment
your approach does not seem to solve them either.
For adding a rank to the references, this may be a good idea, but how do you
propose to implement this in YAML ? Perhaps it would be simpler to keep
a single reference broken in YAML fields as it is now, and dump the rest in
BiBTeX format in a separate field ?
Have a nice day,
