extremely tone-deaf initial response from @fdroidorg in this issue:

https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/3712

at this point I have to conclude that the @GrapheneOS guy has a point that #Fdroid can't be fully trusted as a software source

all I can say at this point is, if this "researchxxl" person ships malicious code to thousands of devices via @fdroidorg after #Fdroid dismissed as "FUD" the repeated warnings from community members that something suspicious may be going on, and then they get sued as a result of impacts from that, they're gonna be on the hook for legal fees regardless of whether or not they win the cases 🤷

re: the #Syncthing Android kerfuffle:

there's now been a post from former maintainer Catfriend1's account on the forum megathread:

https://forum.syncthing.net/t/does-anyone-know-why-syncthing-fork-is-no-longer-available-on-github/25661/165

my personal take: there's still no way to verify this isn't someone controlling Catfriend1's account, and I still won't install updates of Syncthing-Fork from F-Droid
