Description

A couple ideas for potentially useful new meta-fields:

- `repo_url` (or similar): A number of PRs I've reviewed include a link to the repository or website in the `online_order_url` field. Others embed that in the description field. Would it make sense to include a place for that as it's own field?

- `type`: One other interesting bit of information that feels missing is some way to group stickers that represent similar things (e.g., events, organizations, software packages, etc.). For example, hex stickers are especially popular in the R community, as branding for packages. I could envision a predefined list to help keep things manageable.

If you're open, I could take a shot at this. One question would be whether it makes sense to define different types for different programming languages. My inclination is yes, although that might get unwieldy...

Research direction

Review how online_order_url and description currently store repository or website links. Consider the proposed repo_url and type meta-fields, including the question of language-specific types; done requires an agreed metadata design and clearly defined field behavior.
