@flathub Is it still mandatory to have a GitHub account to release applications on Flathub? Would be so fantastic to be able to join the ecosystem from outside the walled Microsoft garden, too.

@mray currently, yes. Flathub uses GitHub to host app manifests, which determine what gets built (and how). Your app source code itself can be hosted anywhere, but the manifest repo is created and owned by the Flathub org on GitHub.

Someone with a GitHub account must maintain that manifest.
