It would increase visibility of F-Droid (people that might have never heard of it might start seeing it in the Play Store) so I think they'll give in to Google's requirements even if they oppose them...

It would require either every app developer on F-Droid to comply as well, or for F-Droid to implement google play style app signing, both of which ive seen F-Droid maintainers being against.

Has this been mentioned anywhere? I haven't seen it.

I'm in a Matrix room with a couple of F-Droid team members and that is where i've gotten the information. I am unsure if it is easily found info. You might be able to ask on the forums if you want to fully fact check my statement.
