Snap package shows as registered but unable to publish
Metadata
Current evaluation
User reports snap name kubectl-iexec shows as registered but snapcraft push fails with 'not the publisher' error; a store account permission issue, not a snapcraft bug; 2475 days old with no maintainer response.
Suggested action: close not a bug
Reason: The error 'You are not the publisher or allowed to push revisions for this snap' comes from the store API, not snapcraft code — the user's account lacks push permission for the registered name, which is an account/store configuration issue, not a code bug. The issue is 2475 days old with zero comments and no labels, showing no maintainer engagement.
