In general, I see that something like this would make sense. It is not what `requires/recommends` is traditionally used for, but it feels logical to put something like this into...

Patches are definitely welcome ;-) (Since there are so many properties, this would be quite a bit of work though)

Well, I think specifying developer info pages is out of scope for AppStream, but as you may have noticed, the `creator` tag has an `id` property to specify a non-translatable,...

No. AppStream has no definition of what "mobile" is, and I really don't want to maintain one. And telling software center authors to "figure it out yourself" without any clear...

I must say I am not a friend of the "figure it out yourself" method... If the user has a place where AppStream metadata is already present, why wouldn't that...

@hughsie What do you think? IMO having a "contribute" url type makes sense, having a "vcs" tag though is less helpful. Nobody would fork the project directly from the software...

Hmm... I am not sure how to resolve this without an API break. Is there any best practice on how to deal with these kinds of issues?
