I don't need it anywhere special in the repo (or even in the same
repo) it just has to be installed in /usr/share/appdata/ when the
other files get installed.

Just the AppData. CC0 ensures we can use it anywhere.

It's useful to the desktop software center, so for now that
gnome-software and potentially ubuntu software center. SuSE, Fedora
and Ubuntu all ship AppStream metadata now. A donate URL is a good
idea, as is videos, but for the first version I want to keep only the
agreed on data here.

When we extend the spec to include things like donate_url and videos,
this is the email I'll use to contact the upstream projects. Most
projects just chose the mailing list email as the contact data, which
is fine as long as you can post without joining the mailing list.

Thanks!
