The new owner of the repo has a fresh github account and apparently has the signing keys from Catfriend1 too.

Time will tell if they are trustworthy, but for the extra paranoid it might make sense to pause updates for a while.

Maybe it's actually true that catfriend1 knows the new owner in real life but... this is not a calculator app, this is something that has complete access to the phone storage... handing the keys without any communication is concerning...

And the issues are locked so if something nefarious happens, discussion will only occur somewhere else instead of the repo

people shouldn't count on that anyways because the repo owner can delete issues, comments, also edit them
