thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the
catalogue repository. (sorry the announcement has been delayed: it's
been a hectic few days...)

hyperxmp – Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document
XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by
Adobe for embedding document metadata within the document itself.
The metadata is designed to be easy to extract, even by programs
that are oblivious to the document's file format. Most of Adobe's
applications store XMP metadata when saving files. Now, with the
hyperxmp package, it is trivial for LaTeX document authors to
store XMP metadata in their documents as well.
The package integrates seamlessly with
hyperref and requires virtually no
modifications to documents that already exploit hyperref's
mechanisms for specifying PDF metadata. The current version of
hyperxmp can embed the following metadata as XMP: title,
authors, primary author's title or position, metadata writer,
subject/summary, keywords, copyright, license URL, document base
URL, document identifier and instance identifier, language, source
file name, PDF generating tool, PDF version, and contact telephone
number/postal address/email address/URL. Hyperxmp currently
embeds XMP only within PDF documents; it is compatible with
pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, LaTeX+dvipdfm, and LaTeX+dvips+ps2pdf.
