Well in fact it is stored as a file but for this "special" file there's
no history (so you can't lookup who modified the metadata etc.). But you're
able to read/write the metadata (for example you can use 
https://api.opensuse.org/source/<project>/_meta to modify the project's
metadata).

This is not possible - for instance in osc's case you can modify the metadata
even if you don't have a working copy of a project/package.
