ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Discover only shows apps that have AppStream metadata; that is to say, apps that have registered themselves as actual *apps*. Discover doesn't show packages that lack this metadata. gufw lacks this metadata because it's a technical package, not a user-facing app. As such, it's intentional that Discover doesn't show it.
