Within specspo, most likely two sub-directories 'summary' and 'desc', as
is currently.

That's the plan. The updates seem to work fine, though there has only
been one change (to summary.pot) since the process went live. It might
be good to talk about a good date for the move.

These are the summaries and descriptions of the packages in the
distribution. Something you'd see if you, for example, did a `rpm -qi
<package>`.
We thought we'd split summaries and descriptions, to make the files a
little smaller, and allow to prioritize between the two.
