F-Droid maintainers are solely a volunteer effort. The CI helps a lot. The biggest slowdown in the chain is the manual offline signing step.

Probably they are just overworked and understaffed. Possibly also lacking money for more/beefier build-servers?

The maintainers aren't really the problems - it's their, long and silly build process + schedule. Updates are _always_ at least three days behind, because their build schedule is set in stone and they refuse to change it.

That's a bold claim to make without something to back it up; care to share what warrants a rating of incompetent?
