No, what i mean is that its not necessarily right to open issues on
github unless they are actual bug reports. We have no "right" place to
discuss other kinds of things.

Its completely fine if you ask on the flatpak list, but its not a perfect fit.

bubblewrap is a nice tool for setting up a sandbox, but it is very
very raw. It's basically a zero-abstraction CLI interface to the
kernel apis for  sandboxing. So, you have to know a lot of how those
work to use the tool.
