org.claws_mail.Claws-Mail

[cobratbq]

This is an almost-completed manifest for Claws-Mail email client. I would appreciate early feedback regarding the construction as this is my first flatpak manifest and I am still rather new to flatpak, flathub and the flatpak-builder.

NOTE: I am not an official member of the Claws-Mail team. I am currently in contact with them. Given their limited capacity, I will try to align and maintain the manifest on their behalf. Preferably in close cooperation.

A few questions I have already:

1. Would you be able to spot why no icon is showing up in the Gnome Software listing when the package is installed (from a custom repository)?
2. I have a few dependencies that are shared with Evolution: libical, libgdata, bogofilter. Should these dependencies be moved outside of the Claws-Mail manifest?
3. The domain name for claws-mail is claws-mail.org, however this is not a valid id. What is the recommended alternative? (For now I've chosen org.clawsmail.)
4. Does the launchable need to be a .desktop file, or is it okay to simply refer to the binary executable?

I'd be grateful for any feedback you can already give me.

Other than the cleanup section this seems good to me, and as previously mentioned it'd be awesome to submit the appdata upstream for future releases to use on all Linux systems.

@cobratbq do you have any more github usernames from upstream team members we can add? Even if you're helping them maintain it'd be good to know that they have the rights.

Will look into this soon, so I can finish up a first viable iteration.

I need to check. So far I haven't gotten any names as discussions quickly side-tracked and I wanted to let it run its course for a while.
