Change of publisher for snap package (Canonical->frankban)?

Asked by Markus Ueberall

Hi,

I just noticed that the publisher of the snap package changed (version/rev number did not), which looks a bit odd.
Did Canonical outsource the maintenance of the canonical-livepatch snap?

No - frankban is the name of the publisher of the snap.
Also the owner of the canonical livepatch dependencies team.

It is still canonical. No worries.

For the record, the above seems to have been reverted.
I definitely prefer to have a corporation/group listed as a (verified!) publisher for official packages instead of an individual employee/group member.
