Mod descriptions should work the same way as GitHub and other similar repos: they should be defined by a README.md file at the root of the mod directory. It would be a small change, particularly because the format for the descriptions is already Markdown, but would have the following significant benefits:

• The description would have version history
• It could be edited using your regular code editor instead of the web interface (which doesn't have a preview, for example)
• The information could also be read offline by someone examining the mod package

Sorry to revive this thread, but

+1!

+1 conceptually.

But i'd prefer seperate markdown files for info/description/faq etc as suggested here. Especially because readme.md is already used for the github description, which is different from the mod portal description.
