Could also include a small description of the project, link to the git repo, and maybe a link to the bugzilla bug component for it. >From a user perspective pkgdb is a bit too low level (trying to figure out the package name for a project can be non-trivial sometimes, and some projects are complicated and have more than one "main package"). All I want to know is "Is Designate in RDO? If not, has someone committed to packaging it? What's its progress? If it's in RDO, who's responsible for it? How do I flag problems?".
