Probono, creator of AppImage, in an attempt to get AppImage support, is banned from the OBS Studio organization on GitHub after downright rude comments and accuses them of supporting Flatpak because of the bounty offered by RH. "In any event, please do not bother our project anymore"
A tool that is capable of bundling everthing (including glibc, libstdc++. and gcc 9 runtime libraries) like https://github.com/AppImageCrafters/appimage-builder or go-appimage appimagetool -s deploy may be better suited for the meantime

I have an application (written in python) which uses libadwaita. How would I create an AppImage that contains all required dependencies for this app?
AppImage Builder Can Be Configured To use Pacman Too. Look At This Example And Umm Yea LibAdwaita is Not Available in Most Repositories.
- Good news AppImage makers and Arch Linux users! Now it's possible to use the appimage-builder generator feature to create bundle recipes using pacman. This is feature comes with a great remake of the whole generator implementation. Give it a try

Wine 8.0-rc5 released
I don't know, both flatpak-wine and winepak seems to not be adopted en-masse.

Flatpak 1.15.0 is released, bringing support for League of Legends (and other games that require modify_ldt to be working) emulation through Wine inside the sandbox, among other things
Theoretically, you can do either a Winepak / winepak-x86_64 or a PrismLauncher/FFXIVLauncher/a-certain-game-launcher release of LoL to give it a Flatpak release.

The reason being that there is literally no point to duplicating flathub just to have your own repo, why waste computing resources. If you want to host a special build of apps that aren't on flathub, then yeah, people are hosting their own remotes. See this one, this one and this one.
