This is one of my bigger issues with Flathub that still keeps me uncomfortable.
I've been adopting flatpaks a fair bit lately but something doesn't sit right that there's not an obvious way (At least in most front ends) to know:
1) Who the packager is.
2) Is the flatpak officially sanctioned by the developer of the software?
2.5) If not, how do I know that it was packaged correctly? Was the build from a clean source?
3) Is it really the latest version? (or is the potential non-official packager perhaps lagging behind the official release)
Perhaps you can dig further into GitHub and get the information, but it's not blatantly obvious at a glance.
