Research direction

Start by reviewing the software presentation pages at community.linuxmint.org/software and the issue's description of the Mint software manager. Clarify the intended reporting scope and ownership; done should be an agreed, discoverable channel for software authors to report obsolete or incorrect presentation details.

Description

This probably isn't even the right place to even make this complaint, but the entire point of this ticket is that I could not find the right place.

The pages at https://community.linuxmint.com/software do not feature any way to make such a report, and I do not have Linux Mint to potentially make a report from within mintinstall (if that's possible).

In my case, the picture illustrating the project in the Mint software manager has been obsolete for more than 15 years (!) and I can't find a reasonably well publicized channel to report the issue.
