Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Hello, can you facilitate the addition of older versions of different apps that the publisher makes available via a mode that uses the existing app metadata and installer info and asks to paste the URL, then asks for the version, than makes the pull request, then asks if you want to add another older version?
