According to the company, the program will be available in other regions first before it comes to the US.

> What's a ballpark figure for what the monthly cost to Fdroid would be to scan all uploaded APKs for security vulnerabilities?

Will the user need to basically add a pubkey for each 3rd party repo? Could they install an APK from Play Store to add the key, or will there be something like the distribution-gpg-keys package?

F-Droid build APKs themselves from source, so presumably 0, as they don't allow APKs to be uploaded.

F-Droid does do some safety checks themselves already too, I don't know exactly what.

Edit: Perhaps I am mistaken... but I think the linked post was referring to users adding additional repos to the F-Droid store, not the default F-Droid repo??
