The "Plaintext Group" looks to be an org that sponsors efforts to improve the sustainability of OSS. The "proposals" directory is a place where interested projects can make their bid for sponsorship. IOW, the Flathub project made such a bid hence the linked file that is is shown, but it appears they were not ultimately successful according to their own status summary in 2023: https://discourse.flathub.org/t/flathub-in-2023/3808 You can see there though, that Flathub already has developed the facility for one-off donations and/or purchases though does not appear to have actually launched it, and are also interested in supporting subscriptions too, both with the goal to help projects/developers sustain their work. GNOME has been involved in sponsorintg flathub development as the project was incubated under the GNOME foundation, but IIUC it is intended to split off into its own legal entity and attract a diverse sponsorship base. Endless Network gave a sizeable one off grant this year per that link above.
