Honestly, the flatpak should be made on only published by the project maintainers; I do not understand why someone still puts efforts into a Fedora-based flatpak to publish the application. Who understand better how the application works? I had this discussion with several packagers on the project, and they insist on their work. I do not understand why a Debian or Fedora packager would know better how to do this. It is a container/userspace abstraction, not distro specific. I understand there is a use case for Silverblue (and derivs), ... though this is duplication; an upstream exists with a possibility for extensions/plugins, that this doesn't.

It does not take away that this feels pretty unnecessarily hostile, as Neal already informed him to work with the packager to resolve this: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/12586. It is not clear if the reporter actually ever did.
