@elextr the file is not meant to be modified - there is no need... the pkgname does not belong into the AppData file...

Whatever process collects all distro provided appdata files and produces AppStream metadata is responsible to add the pkgname (which is also the point where all this info is available)

openSUSE and Fedora at least use appstream-builder for this task: you throw it at a bunch of RPMs, it extracts appdata info, does some black magic and produces and AppStream metafile, which then ends up in the repository metadata.

Hope that clarifies things a bit
