addon metadata file

Hi,
I'd like to ask you if you could ship a small xml file that contains AppStream metadata. It's a distro-agnostic format for AppStore-like catalogs for Linux distributions: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/sect-Quickstart-Addons.html
AppStream-based catalogs are currently included in all major Linux distributions: Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch,...
If the xml file is copied to %{datadir}/appdata/ (typically /usr/share/appdata) the plugin appears in the profile of the app (Nautilus) and is easily discoverable and installable for users.
I've create the file for you. See the attachment.

This took a while but I finally added an updated version of this file to master. Thanks!
