That is great. I will actually try flathub at some point then. Is this documented somewhere? If not, do you know an appropriate place for it?

That's a great question - certainly this could be better explained on docs.flatpak.org - currently on flathub it'd be on the wiki but there's a whole big new website and flow being constructed due to some funding from the GNOME Foundation - a part of which is the ability to filter by free software status in the repos (again, it may need a bit more work to plumb that all the way through the whole experience). https://discourse.flathub.org/t/seeking-contractors-for-w... has more on this.

I'll continue having a think if there's anywhere easier to send patches.

It is not documented on the wiki as far as I can tell. In the main docs, there is a mention of a builder option which would create a sources package. That doesn't really help anyone know that those packages exist on flathub.

"the wiki" I assume you mean is: git clone https://github.com/flathub/flathub.wiki.git
