[fdo] Wikidata IDs in appdata.xml

Hi all!

I am wondering if it has been considered to add the Wikidata ID to
appdata.xml. It would allow for a better mapping between free software and
the data that is available on Wikidata. Builder for example:

https://github.com/chergert/gnome-builder/blob/master/data/org.gnome.Builder.appdata.xml.in

could store the Wikidata ID: Q20739542

With that it would be possible to call:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q20739542 and retrieve additional information
about the program.

Is there a process of how to add this to the appdata.xml specification?
