New Application Status

[Justin Zobel]

Hi Everyone,

I'm a bit frustrated by our new application development pipeline.

I see applications appear on apps.kde.org and in official namespaces on 
GitLab before they have passed KDE Review.

I feel this is falsely advertising to the world that the app is ready 
for use.

The button on apps.kde.org that says 'Install on Linux' takes me to 
Discover and then tells me that the app was not found in any software 
repositories.

It also tells me to report this to my distribution which can lead to 
noise on distro bug trackers. It can also lead to noise on the KDE bug 
tracker because a user wants to install the application but can't.

I think keeping applications in user namespaces until it has passed KDE 
Review would solve both of these problems.
