--- Comment #12 from Marc A. Pelletier <m...@uberbox.org> ---
Querying the API is probably the only way to get fresh data; the actual
configuration is difficult to parse from the configuration and may also be
modified by extensions (which vary from project to project).

If we were to provide metadata tables with namespaces and other
project-specific information, it'd have to be queried from the API anyways; the
only benefit of having it in tables would be to allow joins (don't know how
useful that'd be) at the cost of the information lagging behind reality by 0.5
update period on average.
