The package information in quickdocs is accessed[1] via the API of whatever is hosting the sourcecode. We could try doing the same. Alternatively, it is good practice for CL systems defined in .asd files to contain a `:description`, and even a `:long-description` field. We could take the stance that package information simply comes from there as technically this is the actual package's (i.e. system's) description. And as CL is a lisp, it should be relatively easy to parse this out. The only caveat is that I think it's possible for these fields to contain sexps which read in other files, in which case we should do the same. I hope this helps.
