The Flathub organization (in the form of Robert McQueen) has posted a lengthyupdate on the state of Flathub and its plans for the coming year.

So far, the GNOME Foundation has acted as an incubator and legalhost for Flathub even though it's not purely a GNOME product orinitiative. Distributing software to end users along withprocessing and forwarding payments and donations also has adifferent legal profile in terms of risk exposure and nonprofitcompliance than the current activities of the GNOMEFoundation. Consequently, we plan to establish an independent legalentity to own and operate Flathub which reduces risk for the GNOMEFoundation, better reflects the independent and cross-desktopinterests of Flathub, and provides flexibility in the future shouldwe need to change the structure.
