Attributes are considered metadata. It's GObject-Introspection's job to deal with object metadata.Isn't GObject-Introspection's focus narrower than providing metadata? Reading around the subject, it seems it's to provide metadata for public API/shared libraries to enable auto-generated bindings. Given this, it would seem unlikely GObject-Introspection will support executables or namespaces, both of which would be needed for a full introspection API for Vala.
1. It does supports namespaces:
% grep Gee /usr/share/gir-1.0/Gee-1.0.gir
<namespace name="Gee" version="1.0" c:prefix="Gee">
...
<type name="Gee.Collection" c:type="GeeCollection*">
...
% grep Peas /usr/share/gir-1.0/Peas-1.0.gir
<namespace name="Peas
...
2. As the libpeas provides API for extensions I think you may put it
under 'applications'.
