Description
The screenshots in the Software-Manager are sometimes outdated, by quite a margin.
Example: sqlitebrowser
The screenshot of sqlitebrowser, that is shown in the Software-Manager, must be several years old and is quite different from the current look of the application.
I searched for ways on how-to provide/ upload a current screenshot for applications.
- Google could not provide a link to documentation on how-to upload update screenshots for linuxmint.
- I could not find a way to upload screenshots on the comunit.linuxmint.org site - where I wrote some reviews, in the past.
I am sure the community is willing to upload/update application screenshots. Currently, there doesn't seem to be an obvious way how to contribute screenshots for the Software Manager.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the Software Manager obtains application screenshots and review the community.linuxmint.org software page, using sqlitebrowser as the concrete example. Document or expose a contributor workflow for uploading updated screenshots, and verify that the documented process results in a current screenshot being shown.
