I don't see it on F-Droid or Izzy's repositories yet.

Obtainium (Get android app updates directly from the source) https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.imranr.obtainium.fdroid/

is handy for cases like these

Thanks. I prefer to use a package manager and have some vetting done before installing anything.

It installs the packages directly from the respective github repos

Or you mean vetting the apps themselves and not the packages?

I'm not in a rush to test releases I can't get through the main F-Droid repo, that's all. I think the only app I have a extra repo added for is NewPipe. I just prefer to wait for the F-Droid team to vet releases just like I prefer to grab things through the package manager of whatever Linux distro I'm working in.
