I searched in vain for an explanation of AppStream also.

Matthias, the URL you give does not help; it assumes knowledge of
AppStream and instead talks about co-ordinating the people and tasks
involved in the project.

Please find (or, if it doesn't exist, write) a different page with an
explanation of AppStream and what it means for Debian, and link to that
instead.
