You can host your own repo (or someone else can) and just add it to the app

Adding a new source for every app becomes tiresome, especially when switching devices.

I do see potential for a closed source repo managed like an app store, but adding a repo for every app adds unnecessary security risks (as the app specific repo can contain any number of apps).

    Could you speak more to your security concerns about adding repos? To the very best of my knowledge it doesn't auto-download from all the repos, that would be crazy, and it for sure doesn't auto-install from them

Hmm, maybe someone could start a F-Droid repository that accepts nonfree apps from everyone.
