We can, and should. I'd argue it's one of the most useful thing a
Fedora packager can do:
* Spend the 5 minutes writing the AppData file
* Spend 5 minutes taking some up to date 16:9 screenshots
* Validate the file with "appstream-util validate"
* Send these upstream
* Patch the Fedora package to include the AppData file while waiting
for an upstream tarball.
Can't we include that in the package guidelines?
