I have actually thought of this a while ago and decided not to proceed because of

File storage - Sia

Verification - Civic/KYC solutions?

Prevent cracked apps - some game theory/staking mechanism that makes you lose if you don't play the official version

You are replying to a comment about a distributed repository of software based on some sort of blockchain, while you are linking to a P2P messaging protocol. Not that isn't relevant to discussions about Skype, but it is irrelevant to SW repositories of the parent comment.
