F-Droid: change publisher name from "Valerio Bozzolan" to "Italian Linux Society - Torino"
Open, NormalPublic

Description

Since 2015 the author shown on F-Droid is "Valerio Bozzolan":

In 2026, probably 0.000001% of the original source code belongs to Valerio. So this is just unbalanced credit AND WE MUST STOP THIS lol.

In the meanwhile, in 2024, the Google Play Store started requiring a "DUNS" code. So we already changed the publisher name to "Italian Linux Society - Sezione locale di Torino" on Google Play Store (T1238).

We shared a pool recently, and the majority seems pretty much happy about having "Italian Linux Society - Sezione locale di Torino" or something similar also on F-Droid:

Anyway: "Italian Linux Society - Torino" would be fine too in my opinion. Even shorter. Enough consensus on this too:

So, let's do it! lol
