Correct .doap file syntax for the <name> tag



Hi,

I noticed that many repositories are not using the <name> tag correctly into the respective .doap files. The <name> tag should possibly match the repository name (i.e gnome-shell.git --> gnome-shell, gnome-user-docs.git --> gnome-user-docs) for two main reasons:

1. everyone is aware of which specific module in git is being used for generating a specific release. (the ftpadmin scripts gets <name> for generating a mail accordingly to be sent to ftp-release-list, so something like "Archive Manager" as <name> won't help finding out where that specific release is being maintained at)

2. many other scripts are relying on <name> matching the exact repository-name.

Please take a little minute to update the .doap files accordingly in case your modules are not following the correct syntax.


Thanks in advance,
