@largess its not black and white. I agree that there are trustworthy individuals out there. Works for me in most cases as long as the identity is stable (ie a name can not be hijacked). In other cases I want to know more about authors before I can trust them with $thing. With knowing more, I don't mean their given name. I happily eg trust some person if I have seen them at some nerd conferences :-) @cyplo @fdroidorg

With CLOSED source you need to trust the dev, ans solely the dev (unless there were audits).
With FOSS, everyone (technically capable of) can review/audit the source. At F-Droid, that is done: many eyes on the code, many mechanisms cross-checking it. True, not every line and every minute, but it's done.
Knowing the dev behind it then is only needed to put blame – and THAT is not what F-Droid stand for
