LTP is proposing a meta-data syntax in JSON, like the following:

"testcaseXY.c": { "needs_root": "1", "needs_device": "1", "dev_min_size": "1024", "dev_fs_type": "ext4", "restore_wallclock": "1", "needs_drivers": [ "uinput", "NULL" ], "needs_kconfigs": [ "CONFIG_X86_INTEL_UMIP=y", "NULL" ], "tags": [ [    "linux-git", "43a6684519ab" ],   [     "CVE", "2017-2671"   ],    [     "NULL", "NULL" ]  ],  "doc": [ " Test description", "",   " This is a test description.", " Consisting of several lines." ], "fname": "testcases/kernel/syscalls/foo/testcaseXY.c" },
