Hugin doesn't have a usable way to share lens and camera information

A user can record his lens.ini file. This is the first thing Pablo taught me
when I met him in 2007.
We still don't have any way of collecting and sharing this
information, lensfun has existed for years and has even been
adopted by tools such as rawstudio, but Hugin still doesn't support
the lensfun lens database (yes I know, I'll add a ticket to
launchpad).
There has been recently a suggestion by Tom Sharpless, which I strongly
support, that the serious panorama photographer has a shooting pattern/grid
and that this grid should be part of the input to the stitching process (he
specifically mentioned the CP generators, but this can be even more useful for
the optimizer).
I've shot lots of multirow panoramas and I each time I've gone to
stitch them I had no idea how many rows or columns there were.
Unless you have a click-stop panorama head you will always have a
different number of photos in each row. If you do have a click-stop
panorama head then you will be better served by using a template.
If you are using a robot then you need a tool to convert the log
into a .pto file (e.g. with papywizard).
I see very little value in a wizard that asks you a number of rows
and columns, this will only add complication to the GUI and won't
help a significant proportion of people who do seriously large
panoramas.
When Hugin creates an output image it discards all the photometric and
geometric information it knows about this image. Hugin ought to write
metadata to the image that would allow Hugin to use the image as input
at some time in the future.
Makes sense. Is there a ticket in the tracker with what kind of information
ought to be written?

Though really I was only trying to illustrate how having a 'product
vision' written down can help indicate weaknesses in the application
itself.
