It might be useful to create a new blueprint that depends on the fwupdate one for the tasks needed to get things working with gnome-software from the desktop. One of the steps before one can have fwupd and gnome-software to work for this will be at least completion of the MIR for fwupdate [1]. Looks like gnome-software also is depwait on a new libpackagekit-glib2-dev at least, and would also likely require a MIR. All in all, I'm pretty happy with the current state of integration of fwupdate (at least on the command-line), and it won't be much use to people until there are lots more firmware bits available on the web service fwupd connects to (or until more hardware actually support EFI Capsule). That said, we shouldn't wait for adoption to get this in a better state. If you have time to spend on getting all the bits and pieces ready and available in the distro, please feel free to get things done (and ask for help when needed). I'll be more than happy to sponsor package uploads.
