[TYPO3-doc] Meta data in conf.py

Hi all,

What solution should we aim for? What could be retrieved from Index.rst?

If we go for a Yaml file, should we really put it somewhere inside the 
"Documentation" folder or could it go into "Configuration/Settings.yaml" 
like a FLOW3 package? Or should it rather be XML data in 
"Meta/Package.xml", again à la FLOW3?

Martin, my question is still unanswered. Can you help me understand the 
situation better, please?
