We don't maintain packages for any specific distribution. But we can still advertize how to install these when they exist. And I would guess Redhat has such a package for GIMP. > While I'm here, regarding automatic distribution detection, it would be > useful to have a fairly obvious way to show and download any GIMP release, > regardless of what distro you're using at the moment.

This is something which is coming with xdg-app. See for instance this blog post (which actually proposes already some nightly for GIMP as a demo): https://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2015/10/06/nightly-devel-builds-using-xdg-app/ When such technology is stable enough, we should be able to propose real distro-independent packages for GIMP (which are not ugly binaries in tarball to uncompress in a dirty way without any desktop integration).
