I would like to keep metadata files for the maps that I import into
GRASS and also the maps that I create. Much like the metadata that is
provided by ... cough... ESRI. Is there a way to do this in GRASS?
Should I just store the meta data files as text files in the GRASS
location and then edit them with the additional GRASS processing
information?
thanks,

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.

For individual layers in GRASS, you can add descriptive information
and processing history using r.support.
To access the information, use r.info.
Many metadata support files in GRASS are simple text files.
A simple shell script can parse that data and reformatted into a human
readable format.
