Description
To make it easy for Lua-users to find the most helpful module, it could be useful to introduce keywords,
eg:
keywords = { 'serialisation', 'datadumper', }
or
keywords = { 'fft', 'fourier transform', 'matrix', }
This would allow eg: a search for 'fft' to show NumLua as well as LuaFFT. This would be neatest if done as a field editable on luarocks.org (like description is), rather than having to change the rockspec-format

Research direction
Start by reviewing how luarocks.org stores and edits the existing description field, then trace how module metadata is indexed for search. Compare that flow with the rockspec format and the proposed keywords field. Done means maintainers can edit keywords on luarocks.org and searches such as “fft” return matching modules.
