This would be a preview of how it would look

    <release version="1.0.6" date="2022-1-20" urgency="low">
      <description>
        <p>Release of version: 1.0.6. Update metainfo and desktop 
files.</p>
      </description>
      <url>https://pypi.org/project/MyGNUHealth/1.0.6</url>
    </release>

Yes. We can specify the type of URL. We have a Changelog file in 
Savabbag that can be used (for example 
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/health-mygnuhealth/file/bebbbb95317a/Changelog)

I have made some minor updates in the current metainfo file, specially 
the license (GPLV3 or later) and description. I will also review the 
current documentation RST files (English and Spanish) for improvements.

Let me know your thoughts

All the best
