Collect publiccode metadata as package-like data

[pombredanne]

See https://github.com/publiccodeyml/publiccode.yml This is package-like data in YAML and we would a handler to parse this. See also:

• https://github.com/publiccodeyml/publiccode.yml
• https://github.com/italia/publiccode.yml-docs
• https://github.com/italia#-publiccode for several tools maintained by @bfabio

Examples:

Hi, is it still open? If so, can you provide what we are trying to solve?

[pombredanne]

@devlakshay the goal would be to create a new module to parse the YAML files https://github.com/search?q=path%3Apubliccode.yml&type=code and create a package data out of it. Like we do for Maven for instance.

@devlakshay please read the links listed in this issues And check the packagedcode/ module here to see what we do with other package metadata.
