You could come up with some simple text format that would describe 
the main properties of the project for indexing. Something like each 
record is a "key: value" line, such as:

author: xy
license: gpl
desc: funny little touch sensor
category: schematics pcb spice-simulation

There could be a default name and if the project includes such a file it 
would override whatever automatic heruistics of the indexing for the 
given fields in that directory, maybe recursively. Much like robots.txt.

At the end if the format is easy enough to use and your projects gets some 
momentum, people would start using it as the administrative overhead is 
smaller than the benefit of better indexing.

Regards,

Tibor
