There's waydroid:

There were also rpms of Alien Dalvik (the official Android app runner on paid Sailfish devices) that you can install. But that's kind of piracy.

So they are using waydroid... nice! Use this myself a lot on Linux-based tablets/computers, like the Legion GO.
Wonder how well this integrates with the (edit: Sailfish) OS. Unfortunately, this also does not do screenlocks and therefore has security restrictions and certain apps refuse to work properly.
The good thing is waydroid is fully open source. So you can add OS integrations yourself too. It's not too difficult imo.
I get your point: "patches are welcome", but I meant to understand what it does with Sailfish besides launching applications. Android and MeeGo had the idea of intents, like sending a file through a certain application. Also, the filesystems are probably separated.
