Of course, any member of the development team can take control of the
repository associated with the package or simply assume the
supervisory role.
If some member of the development team is interested in doing this, then
of course they can do that. Would they would also need to take over
building the package? If so, how is that done?
In the context of https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/13252 I had a short
look at the flatpak package last year. IMHO LyX is not suitable for
flatpak, unless you are willing to give up much of its extensibility,
because the interaction with many other tools contradicts sandboxing
concepts like flatpak.
I agree however that something needs to be done, since the current
package at https://github.com/flathub/org.lyx.LyX violates
https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/requirements#control-over-domain-or-repository.
Either a LyX developer takes ownership of the repo, or the lyx.org
prefix needs to be removed.
