Description
An homebrew developer could add a metadata file (a-la game.json) in the source repository of it's project (like https://citation-file-format.github.io/) and then ask the repository/homebrew hub to harvest their game
If the metadata file passes validation, it could be added "automatically" to the main repository
To discuss:
- abuses
- updates?
- DMCA?
Contributor guide
Research direction
No implementation files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the proposed game.json metadata flow and the citation-file-format reference, then clarify validation, updates, abuse, and DMCA handling. Done would be an agreed design for harvesting validated metadata into the main repository.
