In GNOME Software, we show a list of applications for each category

responsibility of writing the long description to the Linux community,
where we can push the data back to upstream so that all the
distributions can benefit. So far we’ve had a superb reaction from
lots of upstream projects and a lot of descriptions have been merged.
Could you highlight how much of a "cross-distro effort" this really is?
Audacious upstream has asked whether the AppData file would only be used
by Fedora? Writing a simple file and including it in the Fedora rpms is
easy, but it would look more beautiful with an official screenshot and
an official updatecontact address.
