How does GNOME Software knows about appdata files in non installed

I mean - is it all stored
in /usr/share/app-info/xmls/fedora-20.xml.gz?
Or is it in the repository somewhere?
Currently Richard generates this appdata from *all* fedora packages (and
sundry files in the github repo[1]) and ships the metadata files in the
gnome-software related packages.
In the future, this will hopefully be integrated with koji etc. and be
done automatically. I don't know the status of this yet.
When I upgrade my package to add/modify appdata, should I do
anything
else?
No. You don't need to do anything. Whenever Richard re-runs his compose,
the updates will be pulled in.
Will other repos than the official provide appdata as well? If no, is
it
possible to do it somehow? E.g. for rpmfusion or repos in Copr?
They can. Please read:
