Hi,

just my 2cts on one specific technical detail (I have no strong
opinion on the broader topic):

One solution for projects whose stable branch keeps changing name
would be to maintain a signed Git tag (say, "flatpak-stable") pointing
to the release one wishes to see tracked on Flathub. Granted, it's one
more step from the maintainer's PoV, can be forgotten, etc. Signed Git
tags can be overwritten and propagate nicely across repos and
working copies.

Cheers,
