On another note, did you consider JSON as a viable format or is there a strong reason to go with XML?

I'm just using it because it's the existing data format. JSON is fine, the data is simple enough that it should be easy to support. Some time ago, I decided not to use it on the site because I wanted to support Python 2.5, but I don't think that's necessary any more. Although if we do something similar for the expected failures, that will probably have to be in xml.

OK, I've added support for json and added a maintainers fields. The functional metadata is now in JSON: https://github.com/boostorg/functional/blob/develop/meta/libraries.json Both 'authors' and 'maintainers' can be a single string or an array of strings.
