Yes, that is under discussion between me and R0S.
It is by no means abandoned, so please wait for R0S's reaction.
Also, what is the benefit of adding IzzyOnDroid instead of F-Droid?

If the Dhizuku is released on a distribution service of this type, rather than F-Droid, would you consider embedding it in the Aurora Store?

IzzyOnDroid is the largest 3rd party F-Droid repo (currently 1120apps) from a former F-Droid contributor. For IzzyOnDroid update cycle runs every 24hrs (pickup apk files from repository) vs F-Droid build & publish 3-7days. That's the major difference. You can see other difference in this article.
Lots of apps are served there because mostly app devs struggle to make fully FOSS or devs asked to keep there, F-Droid build failures similar cases... Making apps publish to larger audience through IzzyOnDroid motivates devs to go fully FOSS & publish on official F-Droid repo :)
Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil.
After successful F-Droid inclusion, we can request to remove from IzzyOnDroid or keep it there if you want to. It's not an issue.

It's not rather than F-Droid the app can co-exist in both the repositories. Besides that if I understand correctly Aurora Store devs are interested in using Dhizuku service as new installer option, why publishing on IzzyOnDroid or any platform would affect their choice? Both are not related at all 🤷🏿♂️
Thanks @shuvashish76! Also worth mentioning are the additional checks performed at IzzyOnDroid, which in several cases already prevented F-Droid.org publication running into issues ("early warnings" and such, also things not covered by F-Droid's scans but, when "accidentally found/reported", might lead to releases being removed there).
Thanks also for mentioning the clients having IzzyOnDroid enabled by default! Their teams and ours are communicating with each other quite well for best experience and to improve things – for app developers as well as for those using F-Droid-style repos (and of course also for those running such repos).

As I replied on the Aurora Store issue, I prefer Google Play or F-Droid.
@s1204IT Removed 0bytes/empty app icon. I'll try to make few icons & let's discuss 1st which one fits best in #55
