I understand the desired goal, but would this not put maintenance strain on Alex? Or is there an automatic way to offer these? Usually it should be the job of the linux distribution to offer them, and not upstream devs to do so. That's why the above strikes me as somewhat strange.
I use a non-deb linux system. I just download the .deb file, which is an archive, and extract it, and then repackage it into a .tar.xz and it works just fine for me. So I don't understand why linux-distribution specific package formats have to be used in the first place. I think this proliferation of a gazillion same-but-separate things make this a nightmare to maintain.

I do not know the build process for Chromium, but I've seen other browsers automatically pack into flatpak and such. Also, perhaps a note on the README asking for help with the AUR, COPR, and Nix?
Flatpaks also serve another purpose: security. It's all containerized. So, basically every linux distro will also work, even immutables.
For the strain, I'm sure it will. You can probably move most of the packing/distribution junk to CI/CD. But I know I am willing to help out to reach this goal (though I know jackshit, I wanna learn lol) and I bet other community members do as well.
