Follow-up Comment #6, patch #8842 (project octave):

Agree, until such time as the AppData specification is updated to reflect if
it actually means something different than what we think it does.

According to https://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/

> If you include the <project_group> tag then this identifies your
> project with a specific upstream umbrella project. Known values
> include GNOME, KDE, XFCE, MATE and LXDE, although other umbrella
> projects like Yorba would make sense too.

it seems that any umbrella organization name should be valid here.

If that is not actually true, they should reword the spec to make it more
clear that "project_group" actually must be one of an enumerated set of
recognized "desktop" projects.
