Description
Could metadata available in Metropolis Launcher (https://www.metropolis-launcher.net/) be added to libretro database?
It looks very complete, and perhaps could be added to libretro-database. Metropolis Launcher is GPL licensed. Metadata is not totally up to date, seems to be between 9 months and 2 year old however it's a trove of metadata and I'd be very interesting to add it to libretro.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository's existing metadata data files and the metadata available from Metropolis Launcher. Determine the feasible import scope, how to handle records that are 9 months to 2 years out of date, and whether the GPL licensing is compatible. Done means an agreed import approach and validated additions to libretro-database.
