While this is true of many projects, F-Droid has a track record of sourcing funding for security audits. To date there have been at least three audits, in 2015, 2018, and 2022.

I was involved in addressing in issues identified in the first one in 2015. It was a great experience, much more thorough than the usual "numerous static analysers and a 100 page PDF full of false positives that you often receive.

I'm surprised that several audits didn't uncover this signing issue. GrapheneOS devs do not recommend f-droid. Instead, Play Store is the safest option for now, after Aurora Store

But their goals are also kinda opposed, software security with not much concerns paid to freedom.

Aurora Store downloads apk files directly from gplay servers, why it should be less safe than Play Store?
