It's manually curated and generally flags such things as anti-features if found, and I'd believe them more than some tensorflow_script_to_detect_malware.py

I wouldn't depend on F-Droid or FOSS as a measure of security. Of course, I get that F-Droid is run by volunteers, but I hope no one is spreading the notion that the F-Droid apps are magically uber secure and private or anything.
