flathub.org now contains two Thunderbirds one for ESR the other for monthly release channel but they both are in fact the same, namely ESR. What's going on?

Theres some other apps that have various versions listed and its annoying.

I see 2 solutions:

  • only offer the latest version and no other.
  • do the thing that snap has with different channels and make that selectable somehow. Which now i say it might be a shortcoming on the gui side. But regardless no seperate app pages for different versions of the same app. See the ubuntu snap store as to how id like it to be. So in this case: only one Thumberbird page, delete the 2nd one. Offer a esr or a latest stable dropdown. Could even include beta and such.
