  • Review and CI pipeline to build the recipes
  • x86 and ARM V7/V8 builders
  • Team responsible for maintenance, support and licensing
  • PR workflow to make/review changes
  • Server hosting a repository, to distribute binaries
  • Single GPG key
  • Static website with: home page, contact details, disclaimers, download link for the repository .flatpakrepo file
  • Only distribute applications that are Free Software or that use "extra data" downloads at install time
  • Host application screenshots
  • GNOME Foundation to act as incubator: to provide legal organization and infrastructure
  • Archive distributed source code for license compliance
  • Contributor agreement for uploaders to carry liability for what they upload
  • Disclaimer that Flathub has no obligation to distribute anything
  • Build status and logs (could be Travis)
