@Maltimore @fdroidorg FDROID IS THREE DUDES
WOAH
@faissaloo @Maltimore
We are a few more working on the client, website and moderating the forum/issue tracker. But basically 3 people maintaining fdroiddata right now, yes.
Tried to set up a build env once, oh boy 😵
For non devs it's rather difficult to help. Really want to but don't know how in detail
@angrytux @fdroidorg @faissaloo @Maltimore
I tried the same. Same problems.
@Maltimore I am interested to volunteer. Where do I start?
@prashere great! :)
Have you seen this toot by F-DROID themselves?

@Maltimore Thanks for the pointer. I will check those.
@Maltimore have they abandoned their 3rd party interweb ads are evil stance?
@b
I don't know. Do you find that stance problematic?
turning a blind eye to profit derived by harming others? can't say I'm a fan of either
@Maltimore
how can I help/become a maintainer?
@gambi see the other answers in this thread :)
@Maltimore
3 Maintainers is actually pretty much for an #foss project
@Maltimore maybe they might wanna look at models like https://voxpupuli.org/
