I've got karma to burn so why not?
So you want another way to distribute the packages? Such as wrapping the snap file in an rpm like I mentioned earlier? You could even set up appstream metadata for it. But that still doesn't solve the problem of one source getting too much power - just like flatpak doesn't solve that problem.

Why is Discover so unresponsive and buggy sometimes?
I could be wrong but for apps to be listed by these software managers (as opposed to plain package managers such as Synaptic or Muon), requires that the apps have to have "appstream" metadata. See https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Distributions/AppStream/.
