My original intent for asking here was not asking someone on this list
to give me maintainer rights, but rather if somebody from the core
packagers/devs would be wanting to take over the flathub maintainership

Anyhow, I have just asked over on flathub [1] if they would be giving me
maintainership rights. Let's see what comes out of this.
