Does this mean that FESCO is now forcing Fedora packagers to maintain
Fedora Flatpaks and respond to their related issues when many of them seem
to be created without the packagers' knowledge/consent, and there is no
documentation in the packaging guidelines/wiki about how to actually do
anything for them, or information about where the manifests for them
actually live?
