When I get Sigil compiling nicely on my Mac (i.e. when I have some hours to spend, perhaps this weekend), I'll see what I can do in terms of the metadata in the Info.plist. Icon design isn't my string point though. I can do one, but it won't be pretty!
Please do. Any help on this front would be greatly appreciated. Adding information to the Info.plist is possible through CMake. You'll just have to tell me what to add and I'll find a way to add it.

The icons are not a problem: look into the Sigil app on Mac, there is a Sigil.icns file.
