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.
