In KDE we have some apps which get released as a bundle (because the app maintainers have better things to do than schedule and make releases). This is KDE Gear.
And some apps make their own releases (because the maintainers want more control) so to keep the world updated for these self-released apps I write this update every few months.
I'm also keen to promote the idea that KDE apps are available on Windows, Mac, Android and new Linux container formats like AppImage, Snaps and Flatpaks. We love Linux distro packages but we also want to use every other method to get our software out there.

I've found in practice Gentoo's CoC isn't worth the electrons it's written on; I've only seen it meaningfully enforced once, it was for a thing that people had been campaigning years before it existed to do something about (removing the part of the forum that served as a beachhead for Stormfront and 4chan users for over a decade), and it was a slow ham-fisted effort that didn't effect meaningful positive change in the end.
I have a sneaking suspicion their CoC was only added at all because Sony® has their fingers deep in the distro and someone there demanded checkbox compliance. They've pushed similar farcical changes through, like an "Authors" file in the main repo that listed the company as the sole author of it all until a developer eventually added themselves out of spite.
In any case I'd rather spend my time working with people who *want to* be worked with. Disciplining someone who's seemingly made it their life's goal to make Ulrich Drepper look friendly and helpful in comparison won't accomplish much.

Asking because if you haven't tried KDE's repository, I haven't had any issues with it
