AFAIK we don't maintain flatpak builds. And it looks more like a sandbox environment? Anyway it should be possible to declare required permissions in the package, so that you won't need to use override later. But I have no idea who is maintaining it ;)

Yes, it's more of a sandbox. No problem, thought you might want to add this to the FAQ.

IDK who maintains them, all flathub gives is flathub@lists.freedesktop.org
