### Problem Description
Desktop file and appdata should live in the source repository so that they can be kept in sync with upstream releases and people can contribute translations for it.
It should also be installed by the application's build process to the proper directories.
Currently, people are trying to send PRs to the flathub repo and closing them since the maintainer is inactive. It should live here, so that they can contribute.
