G'day,
the svg files in the package are missing the metadata tags.
For example, if I look at "bacon" by Johnny Automatic, the web page
shows a lot of metadata:

Could the meta-data be embedded in the file either when it is
uploaded, when it is offered for download, or when it is packaged?
Also, It may be worth removing some of the metadata from the file
public_domain: is given by the license
image , png , svg: are obvious from the file type.
Alternatively, can the meta-data itself be exported? If so, I am
happy to add it to all the files.
I have also filed a bug.
