Hi folks,

a while ago, support for .asf.yaml config file was announced by the Apache
Infra team. This file, when placed in the root of a project repository,
configures various infrastructure settings which were previously handled
only by raising support tickets. One of those settings concerns the GitHub
repository metadata of the project.

Project description, homepage, and labels (tags) can be configured.

I've created initial proposal for such file for qpid-proton

https://github.com/apache/qpid-proton/pull/193

The proposed .asf.yaml says

```
github:
  description: "Mirror of Apache Qpid Proton"
  homepage: https://qpid.apache.org/proton
  labels:
    - qpid
    - amqp
    - messaging
    - library
    - apache

    - amqp-client
    - amqp-connection
    - amqp-messages
    - amqps
    - amqp10

    - c
    - cpp
    - golang
    - ruby
    - python
    - python2
    - python3
```

Current values for these fields can be seen at the repo GitHub page

I'd be interested in any feedback about the description and labels fields.
