Reading the hacker News link, and the discussion there, we just don’t have enough data. This feels like a nothing burger. If the public resignation post had actually detailed some problems that would be helpful…
Of course, it’s all open source, so if a community member feels strongly enough they can fork everything run parallel infrastructure, with parallel binaries. And replace f droid.
The community board member who resigned, and maybe others who had previously resigned, could get together and start a fu-droid or something.
At this point, f Droid is repository agnostic, the canonical repository is just a normal repository with signing keys, so somebody could duplicate it, put in more strict requirements, reproducible only builds, updates within the last x months, at least this Android versioning level. Stuff like that
