"We found a vulnerability with Cheogram. We recommend uninstalling this app immediately" in F-Droid. Any cause for concern?
According to the latest comment on this F-Droid bug report it looks like the problem should be finally fixed in the next F-Droid build server update.

Looking for a self hosted software store?
Different solutions may be better for the different file types than a single download centre for everything. For example, for APKs, there's f-droid. You could selfhost fdroidserver and add your own repo to the f-droid client. This way, the APKs are distributed via an app store that's searchable and can be configured to auto update.

Rock It! - Android app for rocket launches and space news
They were all on different days. I do test the app on my phone before releasing, and usually only release after not noticing anything for a few days of using the dev version. The reason for the time is a bug in the F-Droid server software that is used to generate the repo. The releases of GitHub have the correct date.

[DEV] Termux v0.118.0 Release
Note that F-Droid uses algorithm at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/blob/2.1a0/fdroidserver/build.py#L746 to automatically detect built APKs, so ensure any modifications to location or file name are compliant. Auto updates are detected by checkupdates bot at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/blob/master/fdroidserver/checkupdates.py

How to submit app to F-Droid main repo without cloning the huge repo?
Clone the fork onto your local machine. You'd need to use linux or mac (windows doesn't work). Install https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver.

Is NewPipe broken?
yep, sadly F-droid doesn't have enough people working on it to keep on top of google's "new" app signatures yet. There was some progress, but then I gave up waiting and added their own repo until it's fixed.

Gitlab pipeline - checkupdate stage failed
You should add a new entry in "Builds". Have a look at how Newpipe does it for each new version here for example.

Google account deleted after 2 hours of Aurora
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).
- Amethyst (nostr client) is not FOSS

difference between the various Osmand versions - and f-droid
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

How to discover new FOSS apps?
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.
