It's of course possible but is there something already extracting all those values and making them available in a convenient way? Maybe UDD? Otherwise we first need to implement something like that which can be a bit of a pain. Usually the tracker fetches some external file and turns it into PackageData entries that can then be easily displayed for example with a LinksPanel.ItemProvider to add links in the "Links" panel on the right. If we have to extract the upstream metadata on our own, then we should modify distro_tracker/extract_source_files/ to extract it and add some new Task to parse those files after they have been extracted (or do it directly in extract_source_files but that would be a scope expansion for that Django application). FWIW, I don't plan to work on this (at least not in the short term) but I'll happily review MR and answer questions.
