So, you want to add your Neovim configuration so others can use it?

1. Make a pull-request that updates neovim_distro with your GitHub URL and Branch.
2. Your Neovim configuration MUST bootstrap itself.
3. I'll test it on either Arch or Ubuntu.
4. With 1, 2, and 3 passing. I'll merge your pull-request.

Update notification

1. nvims appends to ~/.config/nvims/nvim_appnames
2. nvims does not remove entries from ~/.config/nvims/nvim_appnames when nvims -d option is used.
3. A future update will reconcile ~/.config/nvims/nvim_appnames with neovim_distros actually installed.
