I would also say that the change request has been misinterpreted by the
Appstream folks.

You highlighted that dashes within that issue the domain part aren't
allowed by the D-Bus specification, but are allowed in the
application/sub-domain part.
Based on that an application D-Bus name such as org.kde.massif-visualiser
is perfectly fine - yet appstream disallows it.

I would say that is a bug on the part of appstream and the true fix here is
for appstream to allow dashes within the final part - then we can put
massif-visualiser and kwalletmanager back to the names they should and our
issues with apps.kde.org will go away.
