What feature should be added to Suwayomi?

A wiki update about ComicInfo.xml which can be used in place of details.json.
When put in the main folder of the series, at the same level as all the .cbz files, it is used to describe the serie.

As far as I've found out, ComicInfo.xml only use the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ComicInfo xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <Series>Title of the serie, will be stripped from each filename in suwayomi chapters list (case sensitive) and be used in place of the folder name in the library view.</Series>
  <Summary>
A summary of the serie which will go in "About".
  </Summary>
  <Writer>will go in Author field (comma separated for multiple writers)</Writer>
  <Penciller>will go in Artist field (comma separated for multiple artists)</Penciller>
  <Colorist>will go in Artist field (comma separated for multiple artists)</Colorist>
   <Letterer>will go in Artist field (comma separated for multiple artists)</Letterer>
  <Genre>Appears just under the summary (comma separated for multiple genres) ie. Science-Fiction, Dystopia</Genre>
  <Tags>Follows the genres, ie. SF, Adult, EN</Tags>

  <ty:PublishingStatusTachiyomi xmlns:ty="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">Accepts: Completed, Ongoing, Unknown, Cancelled, Licensed</ty:PublishingStatusTachiyomi>
</ComicInfo>

Eventually,

<ty:Categories xmlns:ty="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">⭐⭐⭐⭐, complete, manhwa, murim, ⚔️, OP</ty:Categories>

Which is created when downloading a manga which is already in custom categories, when used, is put after the <Tags> element.

Each other tags are ignored.
All tags are case-sensitive, <Genre></Genre> works, but not <genre></genre>.

Why/Project's Benefit/Existing Problem

It's in order for people to know that they can use a convenient ComicInfo.xml file instead of details.json, which I find more annoying to fill because of all the " .
Even if it's a simplified version which is only used for the serie (and not for each episode), it allows to use a complete ComicInfo.xml, and just modify the summary element to fit the description of the serie instead of a chapter (as all other tags will be ignored).

Also, cover.jpg should be replaced by cover.* (I didn't try all image formats, but so far .jpeg, .jpg, .png and .webp are working).
