Discover showing ambiguous repository sources

Discover has recently changed the sources list so it no longer shows the full URL. While this has cleaned up the interface, it has made it difficult to determine the differences between the repositories listed. Please see attached screenshot. Even with the future addition of (sources) as I've been told is coming, it will still be ambiguous as to what each repository is.

A good example of this is at the very bottom of the attached screenshot. That repository is actually:

deb https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian artful contrib

And so should have some description regarding it being for VirtualBox.

I'd like to recommend at least including the base domain name in the source description. So instead of:

Artful (contrib)

It would be:

Artful virtualbox.org (contrib)

This would work well for the default Ubuntu repos as well:

Artful updates (multiverse)

Would become:

Artful updates ubuntu.com (multiverse)

Or, put the base domain name first, whatever you think is best. Either way, it would be more descriptive, without cluttering the interface with the full URL like before.
