Who publishes this

The creator demonstrably controls this app id: Flathub verification, the hosting account owns the namespace, or a well-known file on their domain.

  • git source tracks a moving branch: what gets built can change without the manifest changing
    source:unpinned
  • hosted by github.com/gnome, which owns the org.gnome namespace of org.gnome.tweaks
    publisher:namespace
