F-droid is very safe, just make sure to use trusted repositories because apps have to be accepted before they even get to F-droid that way. They have a list of trusted repositories found on GitLab.

here is a list of most known Repositories

I personally use Fennec FDroid. Its Firefox Nightly with removed telemetry, as far as I understood. - In this post you can find an explanation on how to get important desktop addons (NoScript, Ninja Cookie, CanvasBlocker, ...) to your android Firefox browser with a little hack. - You can also harden mobile Firefox through the about:config. There will come a dedicated post to the available options, but Mozillas Site already provides a good list of settings (not all are there on mobile). - I highly recommend privacy.firstparty.isolate = true, as its the exchange for container addons (isolates every site making them obsolete)

For reference my app: project: https://github.com/balzack/databag merge request: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/12183

You should add a new entry in "Builds". Have a look at how Newpipe does it for each new version here for example.

To me it's not very clear whether those terms practically apply only to their app, since clearly they can't grab logs from Aurora if Aurora doesn't dump those logs for example... but if this is something the F-Droid team should look into, open an issue on https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues or inquire in one of their official channels on OFTC (#fdroid) or Matrix (#fdroid:f-droid.org).

OsmAnd~ from F-Droid not having Android Auto is a known bug: see the discussions at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/2567 , https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/13514, https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/3391 and https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/15400

You can also get F-Droid Build Status which I believe will let you see apps that are being attempted to be built even if their build isn't succeeding yet, again for the "catching things early experience". Or, just keep an eye on the issues, merge requests and commits at fdroiddata which is where people actually add new metadata for new apps to be built by F-Droid, and it often takes a while between an app being first mentioned, and it being able to be included, for many possible reasons.
