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.

The new repo has two releases in it now. These releases are not signed with the original key as far as I can tell. Further, GitHub is silently redirecting to the new repo, even in Obtainium, meaning it’s possible that if you had this previously installed via Obtainium and updated now, you may have unsigned apks installed that may or may not contain the changes in the repo.
This is a mess. I deleted the repo from Obtainium (luckily I don’t auto install updates) and will wait to see what happens over the next few months. Might just save my notes in a network share instead of using syncthing from my phone. Idk, notes are all that I was using it for.
Sounds like a really good reason not to use Obtainium, if any repo you have tracked for updates can just redirect you to a completely different repo If they have the keys - and throw no complaints when updating to an entirely different apk.
With F-Droid they at least have to have the same signing keys, and the code must be a replicable build by F-Droid’s internal apk signature copying process - meaning the code for the supplied APK always matches the code on the repository for the build.
