This is not an issue with GNOME Software, but something you can rise with the respective projects directly. For example, you can ask the "Pingus" developers to add a <screenshots/> tag to their metainfo file, and as soon as they do the screenshots will show up in the software center. See https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Quickstart.html#qsr-app-screenshots-info for details on that. There is nothing we can do about this in GS itself, which is why I am closing the bug here, but there is a lot individual projects can do to improve the situation. So, when you notice a missing screenshot where you think one was really valuable, please file a bug about this at the upstream project (or the respective Debian package for the application). That way, the request for adding a screenshot reaches the right recipient and can be resolved easily. Thank you and kind regards, Matthias -- I welcome VSRE emails. See http://vsre.info/
