The proposal to merge lp:~mbp/launchpad/meta-description into lp:launchpad has been updated.
Description changed to: Google sometimes generates lame page summaries for Launchpad pages, containing garbage that occurs near the start of the page. We can give it a better clue by putting in meta description tags. For an actual search it will often but not always generate its own summary looking at the page text, but the meta description is sometimes used there. The meta description seems to be very often used when sharing a link on g+ and facebook and at the moment it looks awful.

We could do this for other pages too, but we can start with bugs and merge proposals.
