Not displaying the data is trivially done by updating the template
distro_tracker/core/templates/core/panels/general.html but it's even
better to also completely drop the data from what's stored
in PackageExtractedInformation (under the 'general' key, see
UpdatePackageGeneralInformation class in
distro_tracker/core/retrieve_data.py).
This a good task for a new contributor. Hence I'm volunteering
to mentor anyone who wants to tackle this.
