metadata.yaml for Plasma projects?

[Martin Graesslin]

Hi Plasmates,

an idea for better documentation is to introduce some metadata similar like 
what frameworks have. This could be useful for potential devs who want to 
contribute, but also for distributions as in that way:
* we can specify whether it's experimental, released, obsoleted, etc.
* what other Plasma projects it depends on
* who is maintaining it and where to reach us

Below I have an example how this could look like (in the case of KWin).

What do you think?

Cheers
Martin
