Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I noticed in the release notes that microG versions are also distributed through Huawei AppGallery.

However, I've been unable to locate microG in the Huawei AppGallery, even after trying different region settings.

Describe the solution you'd like
Would it be possible to consider distributing the Huawei-related microG release artifacts through the microG F-Droid repository as well?

Describe alternatives you've considered
I understand that I could download the official releases from GitHub release page and download website.

However, according to https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Downloads :

As microG apps are in rapid development, please consider using the F-Droid repository to always have the newest version.

I would prefer using the F-Droid repository to always have the newest version.
