From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You're assuming they can only do one thing at a time, and that the same people who work on this also work on what you speak about.
No I'm assuming they've a limited number of resources, like everyone else, and they like to pool them in the wrong things. Besides they don't want to open the door for offline and mirroring because then they would lose their privileged position of being the single largest and most used way to get flatpaks.
For all the crap Canonical gets about snaps, these are kinda trivial with snapd.
snap downloadwill download a snap and its related assertion, you can install unsigned snaps with--dangerous, and you can add trusted certificates to snapd with a single command.Ironic isn't it?
Of course they have a limited pool of resources. All projects do, it kinda goes without saying.
Still doesn't mean that the people who implemented this are the same ones who could implement what you're after.
And besides, it should be the Flatpak project you're asking for this, not FlatHub.
The mirroring part of their repository is kind of their responsibility I guess...
How so?
