I just made a change to add the repository information to the Cheese 
DOAP file:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/cheese/commit/?id=ba6f9e564cc828d197bf89a7d71e7ea697fb3132

It is a few more lines than using the name property, but has the benefit 
that other public clones of the repository have the upstream git 
location included.

Looking at the mirror script, it seems that using the DOAP name property 
for the repository name can be avoided entirely. I filed a bug about 
this, with a patch:
