I like the word "author" It's confuse because: - Snap "author" is the publisher (checked to certificate, good point) - Flatpak "author" is the developer (and looks like certificated but who knows) I think a good solution would be that discover shows the author (developer) and the publisher separately, specially in flatpak. P.S. Look firefox in snap and flatpak. Both official packages from mozilla: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.mozilla.firefox https://snapcraft.io/firefox but flatpak in discover has not author (?!) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

You are right. But the data from snap or flatpak are different to "Author". Example snap: https://snapcraft.io/keepassxc Info from snap site: Website and contact Discover show me Author: Contact I think the name of "author" is wrong. The data is "contact" Example Flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.keepassxc.KeePassXC Info from flatpak site: Developer and publisher Developer: keepass team Publisher: see detail (some guys from flathub) I think "Author" is wrong again. The data from flatpak is who is the devs. I think flatpak and snap information is a big disaster but Discover doesn't help with the "Author" tag. Does the "author" word come from flatpak/snap? I think the name "Author" is confusing and wrong anyway. Sorry, but it's difficult explain the problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
