I think the GitHub tagline is better: "Tools and libraries to work with
AppStream metadata".

Who is 'we' in this context?  Maybe we can use the README description:

"AppStream is a collaborative effort for making machine-readable
software metadata available to programs that need it."

Do you know if Guix is supported?  :-)

The library portions of this package seems to be 'lgpl2.1+', and the
tools are 'gpl2' (only).  Can you add a comment about it and list both
licenses?
