Indeed! I'll fix that.

This is not a php library of any kind. It is a web *application*, and we
should ignore what language it was written in. For example, gnusocial is
also a bunch of PHP files, but we wouldn't name it php-gnusocial, would
we?

I think we'll have to create an rss-bridge service. I'm not too sure at
this point, because I am yet to write my first service, and don't fully
understand how services work.
