Re: Hi, I'm the App Stores Support Engineer guy

Two bugs that come to mind related to AppImage (not sure if you are
also taking care of appImages):

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448308
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454699

I think the problem in above is that we don't package enough things in
the AppImage for kate to be truly standalone.
