Opening this HIP after conversation with @mattfarina in this PR comment section: https://github.com/helm/helm/pull/10369

This would help solve this longstanding issue: https://github.com/helm/helm/issues/4256

A potential scope increase to also include the tar sha256sum in the release metadata might be nice as well. If installed with a local tarball, this could still be populated where repoURL would not get populated in that case. I can extend the proposal with this.

This came out of a conversation in this PR: https://github.com/FairwindsOps/nova/pull/61

I'm also planning on attending the helm dev meeting today in case there is time to talk about this HIP.

I am also looking forward for having this functionality. What needs to be done next to push this forward?

Closing this in lieu of @sudermanjr opening a newer one here: https://github.com/helm/community/pull/269 Thank you, and sorry I haven't had the time to pursue this further!
