There is a mechanism to refernece the appdata in repomd.xml what is needed is to close a gap and make it possible to put the appdata into rpm headers so that createrepo can extract the data and make the metadata on the fly. afaik the gnome-software folks and rpm folks were going to work on a solution a year or two back and it has not materialised. having to extract files and data from inside rpm payloads is expensive, clunky and cumbersome.
