on board with submitting the new app to them. Most interesting is that
they build apps from source and sign them, guaranteeing that they
match the publicly available source. This is a great idea.

Thanks. I agree. I've been using F-Droid for quite some time now, and
have also been impressed. I tend to prefer the F-Droid version of apps
over the Play versions when apps are available in both (eg. K-9 Mail,
VLC, Firefox). The only real criticism I have is that updates are
sometimes slow in coming (sometimes weeks after the Play version of an
app gets updated), but as a volunteer project that's to be expected.
The other nice thing is that they support setting up your own app repo,
so in theory the fwknop app could be distributed from the Cipherdyne
website via an F-Droid server. I haven't set one up myself, though, so
I can't speak to how much work a server is to set up and maintain.
