snaps must have accompanying source available
Metadata
Current evaluation
9-year-old policy proposal requiring snap developers to upload source code for licensing compliance. Zero comments, no labels, no maintainer interaction. Never triaged or acted upon.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: Filed 3301 days ago with zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer response ever. The snap ecosystem has evolved substantially since then, with source-code metadata fields now available in snapcraft.yaml and store-level source availability mechanisms, making this specific 'require source upload' proposal outdated in its original form. No evidence of ongoing relevance or maintainer interest over 9 years.

Issue body
snap packages include open source software. To ensure compliance with licencing and ensure the continued development of this open source users of snaps must be able to download the source code used to create a snap.
Developers must be able (probably required) to upload sources and maybe pointers to .debs used which will persist for the lifetime of the snap.
