We already have multiple libraries in a repository. For example:

https://github.com/boostorg/functional/blob/develop/meta/libraries.json

These metadata files are only in a few libraries at the moment, but
dependency specification could possibly be added to them. Although if
it's going to be done for subsets of libraries, it would need to be in
a separate file or files.
