Would you mind sharing that one with us?

Same there. The JSON API can set some stuff, like user properties, but
doesn't (it seems) have a way to set the project name/description. If you
can suggest a JSON interface for it, i can add it.

IIRC we don't actually use the mtime in the config file (or not often,
anyway). Feel free to set it to 0 or (as we do internally):
strftime('%s','now'). It's a Unix timestamp (so (date +%s) can be used from
scripts).
