Let's give some credit to Daniel Micay and assume he isn't coding this by himself, especially after the CopperheadOS debacle.[0]

It doesn’t matter who is coding it, it matters who owns the signing key that will make your phone recognize the authenticity of the software. And, of course, if anyone else has it.

Also Daniel Micay no longer works on the project.

This isn't true. He stepped down as lead dev. Still one of the main contributors
