Current evaluation

Docs improvement: the Discord example in the Electron how-to only shows deb extraction, not actual Electron app building. Suggests Signal as a better example. No maintainer response in 238 days; Discord example still present in docs.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The issue is a valid documentation improvement (verified the Discord example still exists in docs/how-to/integrations/craft-an-electron-app.rst), but has zero comments, no assignee, and no maintainer response in 238 days. It has a 'Type: Documentation' label but shows no sign of being assessed, prioritized, or scheduled for work.

Issue body

The Discord example for an electron app is actually just extracting a deb package, so it doesn't tell you much about building the electron app. Perhaps [Signal](https://github.com/snapcrafters/signal-desktop/blob/candidate/snap/snapcraft.yaml) would be a more useful example. --- *Reported from: https://documentation.ubuntu.com/snapcraft/stable/how-to/integrations/craft-an-electron-app/
