only use the name property as a description fallback

The DOAP name property is the name of the project:

https://github.com/edumbill/doap/blob/master/schema/doap.rdf

The github mirror script uses the name property as the repository name, which
causes problems when the name property does not match the repository name
(which is perfectly legitimate). This can be avoided by using the repository
property in the DOAP file:

<repository>
  <GitRepository>
    <location rdf:resource="git://git.gnome.org/cheese" />
    <browse rdf:resource="https://git.gnome.org/browse/cheese/"; />
  </GitRepository>
</repository>

or by using the (already known) repository name directly in the mirror script.
Attached is a patch which uses the repository name that is already known, and
only uses the name property as a fallback for the github repository
description. I have not tested the patch, and I do not known Python well, so
please let me know if any changes are needed.
