Proposed solution
Add a recommended section to the .info file.
Alternatives that have been considered
Pulling the information directly from GitHub
Is there a Drupal or Backdrop contributed module that accomplishes this? Nope
Additional information
With more and more modules being converted and new modules being released it will become harder and harder for people to find the right modules, so I think implementing some solution is better than no solution, even if it's optional. I would have thought that module and theme developers would want to make their creations more findable.
Draft of feature description for Press Release (1 paragraph at most)
Backdrop now includes a new module and theme category to make finding the right module easy!
