I thought on creating a ppa with all packages in Trisquel that have never updated since 2014 (e.g. LibreOffice, GIMP, Rhythmbox, and others) and a forum in launchpad to discuss there which packages do you want me to upload. of course if you want me to update a package, you have to provide me the .deb
i haven´t created the ppa yet, but when doing it, I will post it in the wiki and advise you.
I hope you like the idea!

AFAIK, GNU-endorsed distros should not depend on third-party services and must implement everything on premise. But no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.

What do you mean by providing you the .deb package?

First of all, this is optional. When I refer to provide me the .deb packege is for the program you want me to update, so I upload it to the repo

You could look into Snap packages, which are supported in Ubuntu 16.04 and Trisquel 8.
