MODERATORS
I just checked and I installed Signal from F-Droid.
It says Repository: Guardian Project on the app page.
Interesting, I wonder why it's not in the main F-droid repo. Thanks.
I also wondered who builds it from source.
Apparently it is this development team, which, I must say, has several interesting projects active:

Tons of stuff are not on fdroid due to requirements by fdroid, a longer process to push releases, etc...
It works for many apps, but there is IzzyOnDroid for much faster releases as well as dozens of fdroid repos for specific projects by default available on NeoStore.
I am not experienced enough to know the ins and outs of why fdroid is so difficult and slow for some devs, but it has been someone limited in apps at times because of it.
