This makes me wonder. Is there some convention for software projects
that can encode the status of the project (version #, comments, URL,
maintainers, etc.) that could always be in a specific place for each
project?

Sort of like the RSS news syndication spec. Short and simple, but
makes everyone's life easier.

Then Bernhard and his FreeGIS site people could just pick up the new
version numbers automatically.

Freshmeat may have something like this. I'll try to take a look next
time I have a minute. If someone beats me to it, I won't be upset :)
