The offcial project information is distributed and written in natural
language in README, sourceforge, gna, gforge and/or README. This should be
written in single a single place in sexp or XML like:

This is the offcial project information which is worth to be shared with
developers.
Of course these information could be overridden by user a per-user basis
information.
The simplest one is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<user>
<name>Masatake YAMATO</name>
<mail>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</mail>
</user>
