Description
### Description of the new feature/enhancement
It simply looks more professional/cool (depending on the viewpoint) that way.
Even when disregarding zh/jp/ko locale YAML files, this would nevertheless affect more than a third of the repo's packages to varying extents: My counting with Sublime text showed around 4,150 packages of a total of just over 10,000.
### Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Get a bot to run the following case-sensitive RegEx on the repo's packages:
`^(ShortDescription: [^一-拿㐀-䶿가-힣ぁ-ゟ゠-ヿ]{3,253}[A-Za-z0-9])(\n(# ?)?(Description|Tags|ManifestType|Moniker):.*)$` → `\1.\2`
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository's package manifests and testing the proposed case-sensitive regex against ShortDescription fields, including the locale exclusions described in the issue. Confirm how a bot could apply the change across the reported packages and define completion as the affected ShortDescription values consistently ending in periods.
