I took a quick browse and overall it looks very sensible. A couple
of minor nitpicks:
1. You can probably remove repositories.manifest -- it's highly
unlikely this package will have any dependencies.
2. I see the description-file in the manifest points to
README_PACKAGE.md. Generally, for cases like this, we would
probably want to point it to upstream/README.md since we
display this information in the repository web interface,
for example:
https://cppget.org/libstud-uuid
Maybe try it and see what happens ;-)?

I've invited you to the build2-packaging organization so you should
be able to move it there. Probably makes sense to call the repository
just doctest rather than build2-doctest, similar to other packages.
Once you've done this, it would be great if you could also publish
it to cppget.org using the bdep-publish command. This section in the
introduction has the details:
https://build2.org/build2-toolchain/doc/build2-toolchain-intro.xhtml#guide-versioning-releasing
Thanks!
