Actually I have made one already, I just did not have time to make a pull request.

Part of the reason why I got delayed was that I tried to make some screenshots that followed the specification recommendations. That is quite difficult with an application that does not look great at window sizes that have an aspect ratio of 16:9.

Add appdata file
a25dbf8 
This is used by Software Centers and packaging systems that make use of
the AppStream specification. It adds distribution independent metadata
for the project.

Screenshots are not supplied due to the extra work needed to make new
ones that comply with the AppStream recommendations. Specifically the
difficulty lies in only showing the window, yet maintaining an aspect
ratio of 16:9.

Not sure how this is best solved. Likely the only solution is to
something similar to the current screenshot.jpg, minus the background
and no padding.

This appdata file validates using `appstream-util validate-relax`.

Should fix Manuel-Kehl#121

Thanks to @AsavarTzeth an appdata file is now included. I will update it at a later time. (Include a screenshot/screenshots, adapt the description a bit (reference to "my Todo.txt Kupfer Plugin" isn't clear and should probably be removed.))
