Defining a developer name for our applications metadata

[Johnny Jazeix]

Hi,

I recently added an application in flathub and found
https://discourse.flathub.org/t/deprecated-developer-name-element/5746
which is related to the subject.
I used appstreamcli to generate the appdata and it changes
<developer_name/> to <developer><name/></developer>.
The new format emits a warning on flathub linter (missing developer_name
tag).

Do you know if it has been fixed or if it can be an issue?

Cheers,

Johnny
