Where do we get more maintainers? Sometimes in my development I release one new Wekan version per day. Canonical's Snap build servers download Wekan source code directly from GitHub, it is very transparent.

Wekan Snap has strict sandbox, so code can not access any other directory that /var/snap/wekan/common. So in case someone would find exploit for web service, it can not escape sandbox. It is very important.
