Are anyone up-to-date on the status of the syncthing-fork on Android, following the drama of catfriend1's sudden disappearance and the less-than-trust-building behavior of researchxxl? Did they rebuild that trust? Was it forked again by someone more trustworthy?

FWIW, syncthing-fork in F-droid has link to researchxxl's github. The package name still catfriend1 though. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.catfriend1.syncthingfork/ Trustworthiness is still a question mark though, hence I've not installed in my phone.

    I seem to remember that F-Droid halted the updates while the confusion was at a maximum - that it is "back to normal" is perhaps somewhat of a sign that things have sorted themselves? Catfriend1 is also making contributions to the repository, but I guess there's no guarantee that it's really the same person?
