RFC: Client maintenance sponsored by the Calyx Institute

The official client app is an essential piece of the F-Droid ecosystem. Therefore, the Calyx Institute as a member and benefactor of the F-Droid community would like to offer sponsoring a maintainer position to ensure continuous maintenance of the client app independent of grants or available volunteer time. To this end, a second maintainer could be added in the future to reduce the bus factor.

As a first maintainer, the Institute would like to suggest Torsten Grote due to his familiarity with the code base and due to his substantial contributions in the past year. We hope that this would free up time and energy of the current maintainer(s), so those could benefit F-Droid in other areas.
