After reading your interesting blog post, I started experimenting with news-to-metainfo command.

I had some headaches initially to guess the format of NEWS file, in particular the one (not two!) space indentation required by bulletted lists. GNU did not set any standard format, right? I mean, there's no link to point people to?

Anyway, I'm writing to complain about a weird behaviour, probably a bug. The following string in NEWS

Translations:
 - Updated dutch and italian translations.
 - Added esperanto.

is converted into

<p>This release updates translations.</p>

Why is it ignoring the items in the list?
How can I specify which languages have been updated or added?
