[Discuss] OSHWA creates one database to rule them all ...

[Matt Maier]

I dunno. But you probably wouldn't call it "one database to rule them all"
and it probably wouldn't have much to do with creating the incentives
necessary to get people to even care about packaging in the first place.
Both of the things that got this particular thread started.

At least a metadata "business card" type thing could clearly specify which
packager a project used. You wouldn't have to track someone down on chat or
anything.
