Lohit: Add appstream metadata #82
Description
It would be great if we could add appstream metadata for all the Lohit fonts.
I see that you added apsptream metadata directly in the Fedora packaging but appstream is used by many other distros and it seems a lot of work for every distro to have to do that individually.
I believe CC0 is now by far the most commonly used license for appstream metadata.
I tried to use the reverse-DNS naming convention from the appstream specification, but I don't think that's mandatory. So you can probably drop the io.pagure prefix if you don't like it.
As long as you don't need to support pre-2016 appstream, the preferred install location has changed to /usr/share/metainfo/
Example file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<metadata_license>CC0-1.0</metadata_license>
<name>Lohit Assamese</name>
<summary>Font for the Assamese language</summary>

This font is part of the Lohit font family, a set of fonts for
Indic languages originally created by Modular Infotech and
