Just as a follow-up: It might make sense to think about renaming the .desktop file (and subsequently the metainfo file) to match the reverse URL scheme anyway.
See https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s02.html for the spec:
> For applications, the part of the name of the desktop file (before the .desktop) should follow the "reverse DNS" convention, e.g. org.example.FooViewer.desktop.

We need the reverse-DNS scheme to make apps DBus activatable, which is - among other things - needed to get startup notifications on Wayland. So, this is something that should be changed in future :-)
