Thank you for the suggestion; and the big picture in comment 0. The link given is currently about "Black Lives Matter" & George Floyd. I could find no introductory information on the site, despite detailed deployment documentation. Its intimacy with Chrome is disconcerting. ---------- Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might, if there are no license or other legal issues, want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes. You Kristoffer might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

Indeed due to the bundling of Chromium (which we can't really even properly maintain by itself) it is impossible to package this or any electron-based apps securely. This has been discussed before.
