Do you mean the descriptions of bundles hosted at the svn trunk?
If so, I parse the info.plist of each bundle, tag <description>.

This could be done I guess. Maybe also for the svn bundles.
And this could be put into a more-info thing.

Do you mean for svn and github?

I'll try something.

For svn bundles I don't see a chance to add a more detailed  
description. He only way would be that Allan decide to add soemthing  
like that into the bundle architecture.

For github, well, to parse the README file would be tricky caused by  
the issue that these are coming in different formats.
But it could be, maybe, possible to get the README stuff from  
github's HTML page meaning e.g. the <div id="readme">...</div> part  
of http://github.com/subtleGradient/subtlegradient-tmbundle/tree/master

Then the HTML rendering will be done by github.

BTW I uploaded a new GetBundles to the review. The entire error  
handling is strongly improved. I also added a help nib plus button,  
and a check box to make it possible to install a git bundle by  
downloading it as zipball. This is useful for users whose computer is  
behind a firewall which blocks the git port.
