Please do package https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML and
https://github.com/spdx/tools-java, but please then join me in
maintaining src:spdx-licenses, because the last part of your plan

Oh, and I just discovered that I forgot to move the project to salsa -
that's done now, together with a new release and a large update of the
copyright file (still missing a few hundred entries).

See bug#975120, #1079848 for some context of the existence of the
package but not yet its dependencies.
