Comment (by mbijon):

 It may be worth looking at the Composer JSON schema,
 https://github.com/composer/composer/blob/master/res/composer-schema.json

 The info provided there might not all fit in our Header comments, but if
 the WP.org plugin repo made the rest of it available then
 dependency/library management in core or as a plugin would be a lot
 easier. It might also help non-WP.org repos to be more functional. They
 already exist, but tend to be hacked together and tied to the owner's own
 plugin "frameworks." Why not support them, but raise the bar for interop a
 bit?
