ubuntu-software is recommending unmaintained software snaps

[Chris Guiver]

System was recently upgraded to 20.04 (upgrade via re-install) so I was exploring

A "Recommended Graphic Application" however when selected shows

"WARNING: THIS SNAP IS UNMAINTAINED. CONTACT ME IF YOU WISH TO MAINTAIN IT."

The goodwill-type value of store risks being eroded if it's recommending unmaintained software.

** Expected results

Software recommendations do not include unmaintained software.

Thanks for this Chris - this is being recommended by the snap store (https://snapcraft.io/search?category=photo-and-video), but it does seem like it should be removed from that list.
