You are not the only ones that struggle with f-droid. (There is an ongoing struggle to fix certificate pinning by f-droid by a former maintainer, which has neither been acknowledeg nor accepted).
We appreciate the concerns, yet we'd like people to reach and get our side of the story before dropping conclusions from second-hand reports.
Our weekly posts in https://f-droid.org/news explained the issues at the time, tooted here and available via RSS feed.
On point, #wireguard dev pre-emptively removed F-Droid mentions knowing that, added in-app updater bypassing F-Droid app build verification will break our rules and will get their app removed.
F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
#organicmaps devs disagreed that in-map injected Kayak referral links should be flagged as Ads and the use of a map CDN is flagged as NonFreeNet. One year later we find out that secretly the CDN was not running FOSS software, and Kayak links will be opt-in soon, as we asked from the start.
All this info, links to the long discussions and more, could have easily been provided if you (and other interested people) would have pinged us, in public or private: https://f-droid.org/about/#contact

The feeling I've seen many times in conversations with open-source devs is frustration with your platform.
