No need to remove it if it's easy to update:

stain@biggiebuntu:~/src/taverna/incubator-taverna-server$ cat .opf.yml

name: Apache Taverna Server
vendor: Apache Software Foundation
maintainer:
name: Apache Taverna (incubating)
email: [email protected]
platform: "Java 8+, Tomcat 6, POSIX"
download: https://taverna.incubator.apache.org/download/server/
homepage: https://taverna.incubator.apache.org/documentation/server/
issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAVERNA/component/12326813
support-contact: [email protected]

(Just did)

But it might be worth checking if OPF is still "a thing" and if we
should add such metadata to the other repositories.
