Normal invakid404 showed that we can fetch a package's description right from the github metadata:
pkgmetadata = await hub.pkgtools.fetch.get_page(
f"https://api.github.com/repos/{{{}
{}}}/{{{}
{github_repo}{}}}",
is_json=True,
)
and the description is then available under pkgmetadata["description"].
If this were to be part of github-1 generator, then templates can basically set DESCRIPTION="{{ description }}"
