Is the Free Software Directory sharing data with the F-Droid app list and vice-versa? Helping both stay up-to-date. How about WikiData entries for software under free licenses?
It strikes me there could be directory sites similar to the F-Droid one for libre Android, specializing in other OS. Or software across all OS platforms for particular use cases (multimedia, office use, etc). All of which could have 2-way data-sharing with both FSD and WD.
Exciting news! #Fread is now live on F-Droid! 🚀🎉 A big thanks to the F-Droid community for making this happen. Download it today and join the movement!

A mistrust of apps is not a bad thing. The majority of them exist only to exploit their access to your device for DataFarming purposes (see my recent post about ZipoApps).
That's why I'm so fussy about installing phone apps only from F-Droid. Where they've been rebuilt from source code and checked for spyware, which they either remove, or at least flag (eg if the app is tethered to a DataFarming remote service).
This is a bonfire demo instance for testing purposes
