Straw poll:
Who maintains metadata.rb for their cookbooks?
I certainly do. It's kinda important when you have lots if cross cookbook dependencies.

Everyone who has dependencies and uses the Chef Server.

It is required for using Chef cookbooks/recipes with the RightScale
dashboard.

I think I just have an averse reaction to what seems like a painfully manual
and error prone process.
The dependency information is relatively painless, but keeping the
attributes in sync and with defaults is brittle and duplicated info.
A way to generate and/or validate the metadata from the attributes would
improve that.

At the moment, nothing in core-chef reads the attribute data - Cary
can speak more to what RightScale does with this information.

I agree. It would be easier to maintain if the attribute/recipe
metadata were a first-class part of Chef (real code), or at least
parsed directly from comments in the code (on the chef server side).
