If we're going to go with a simple site created using doap, then you
shouldn't worry too much about usernames and passwords. If we want to
bring the accounts back and have a management system again, then we can
always extract the data at that point.
If no password fields are needed, then I need to figure out the date
field conversion (if the old database registation date is still needed).
If I can make it past that, then I think the XML work I've done so far
might be usable, after some more cleanup on user data.
If DOAP format is wanted, then we need Programming Language, which we
don't have. Optionally, it'd be nice to have other metadata: Operating
System, Bug Database, Category, split Url field into Homepage, Old
Homepage, Download Page, and for Apache-hosted (and other
publicly-projects, use the Repository class. Besides Developer and
Maintainer contacts, perhaps also the Documentor, Translator, and Helper
contacts? So, I think we'd need a way to get new data from existing
projects, either before or after publishing this new format.
Is there an Apache-controlled vocabulary that can be used as DOAP
Keywords? Right now they're quite free-form, if they exist. Having some
existing 'tag cloud' could be helpful going foreward.
Is this eventually going to be internalized into non-English languages,
via xml:lang?
The Apache Labs DOAPizer seems to only target internal projects that
have Svn projects, as Svn folder is used for Lab Identifier in form.
Would the results of this new set of DOAP files be integrated with other
existing Apache-hosted DOAP files? Perhaps make the Apache Labs DOAPizer
something that httpd module authors could use in new system?

BTW, since the DOAP site is down (for me at least), there is a new
similar project being worked on by Linux Foundation might be worth
looking at.
