Yeah, but not everything gets accepted. Like, for example, I use Viber and they won't accept it because it doesn't do version numbering when doing releases... and you have no idea when they will update. Basically, short of unpacking the deb and checking the version in the ELF binary, there is no way to know which version you're running. So, I just post those obscure or out of date software templates on GH and other places.

I've also submitted a few times in the official repo... for things I know that I use reglarly and can maintain. Basically, most of them don't have that many updates, like once or twice a year, so that's why I opted to submit and maintain them, lol 😂.
