There may be no need to "create" a project, for a particular backend.
But a specialized backend (for instance, one for Emacs sources) will
know the directory tree layout and where to get information from. In
Emacs's case, for example, from find-func and TAGS files inside lisp/
and src/.
And how to combine the information from the different sources better.

Someone is welcome to take that up. It won't be on my list for a while,
probably not until after the 25.1 feature freeze.
