app Publisher > See details link shows misleading Contributions graph #318

Open skierpage opened 2 years ago

skierpage commented 2 years ago

I browsed DOSBox-Staging and DOSBox-X. Both have a "Publisher > See details link that goes to a contributions graph that makes it look like the former project has had no activity in 2021.

But this graph is not for the project, it's only for the building and presentation of the project's flatpak on Flathub! Continuing the example, dosbox-staging's actual contributions graph show vast contributions every week. Furthermore, you can't easily get from the relatively inconsequential commits to the flatpak to the actual code of an open source project.

Either replace/add to Publisher > See details with a link to the actual project (hard to do for closed-source flatpaks), or change the heading from "Publisher" to something suitably modest like "Packaging for Flathub". (Issue #214 mentions "Publisher" confusion.)

Thanks for flatpak tech and Flathub :+1:
