Only packages that aren't controlled by their own maintainers would be considered that. And imo rightfully so. If your Flatpak is maintained by an external person it's more or less equivalent to using the same software but packaged by a traditional Linux distro.

@jcm @vwbusguy@mastodon.online @bookwar@floss.social thankfully there is push in case of flatpaks to make developers verify those :D Which means the flatpak is maintained by either upstream or trusted third-party, but as said above apparently that also means being a contributor, so in both of these cases it's maintained by upstream :D Another point is that even an unverified flatpak is better than distro package, since everyone, no matter the distro, can install it.
