Cool!  I was not requesting a fix :-P thank you very much.

It looks nice. To build your own stylesheet, it might also be easier to
start from this one, if you want nice looks.

Good ol' README, I think.  But README doesn't always have the "good"
information in the first line.

But really, I expect bzrweb to be used mostly to track projects that,
hmm, "know" they're being tracked.  So I think it's not unreasonable to
expect them to follow whatever standard you want to enforce, assuming
it's nothing too insane.

I'd add a file .bzrweb to the project, in configparser format, and
initially have these fields: shortdescription (for the repositories
page), longdescription (goes on top of the log).  Maybe in the future
you can allow stuff like an image url, a custom css, whatever.

best,
