I need to clarify: all of these questions need to be answered in the 
context of oe-core. Essentially, you need to explain why the recipe 
should be in oe-core and not in its own layer.

Same as the difference between commit summary and commit message. 
Description usually spans several lines, and provides fully formed 
sentences that explain what the software provided by the recipe does.

Also, an update to maintainers.inc would be appreciated, when adding new 
recipes.
