If there were patches included, they didn't make it to the issue
tracker.  Can you re-send them?

Thanks, but is this a patch for Emacs or for something else?

There seems to be no file called anything with "metainfo" in Emacs -- is
this a file added by some OS distribution, perhaps?  In which case this
patch should be sent to that distribution instead.

There are two patches.  The first patch renames emacs.appdata.xml to emacs.metainfo.xml (because the *.appdata.xml naming scheme is deprecated), and the second adds more metadata to this file.

Sorry; I misread the patches.  Applied now to Emacs 28.

This change was small enough to apply without assigning copyright to the
FSF, but for future patches you want to submit, it might make sense to
get the paperwork started now, so that subsequent patches can be applied
speedily. Would you be willing to sign such paperwork?

I’ve already requested the paperwork, but am waiting to hear back.  Thanks.
