Here's a useful link on F-Droid's metadata schema:

https://f-droid.org/manual/html_node/Metadata.html#Metadata

with the coolest bit being the "AntiFeatures" section:
7.15 AntiFeatures

This is optional - if present, it contains a comma-separated list of any
of the following values, describing an AntiFeature the application has:

‘Ads’ - the application contains advertising.
‘Tracking’ - the application tracks and reports your activity to
somewhere without your consent.
‘NonFreeNet’ - the application promotes a non-Free network service.
‘NonFreeAdd’ - the application promotes non-Free add-ons.
‘NonFreeDep’ - the application depends on a non-Free application (e.g.
Google Maps) - i.e. it requires it to be installed on the device, but
does not include it.
