I need to mention, just because they do it, it's not necessarily the right way, and I don't like it. It is inefficient, and most of it is reproducible. That said, I can live with it if others insist on it.

F-Droid's data repository on GitLab follows a similar approach.

Something both the Electron and F-Droid repositories feature is that they don't use separate files for both URL and the meta data, which is something I'd implement in this repository as well. It just avoids having to match two files by filename, which is pretty fragile and not really necessary. We could keep the "just a URL" files, and have the Travis job replace the file with such a YML one subsequently, which then contains the original URL and the auto parsed meta data.
