mumble is packaged at Debian, so I would suggest that you get in touch 
with the Debian maintainer about changing it. One way to do that is to 
file a bug:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=mumble

But while you are at it, why not add an AppStream metainfo file to the 
project source. That will give you as an upstream developer full control 
over how the project is described in the various distros.
