Are these types of repos trust worthy, or is it best to download straight from Signal’s site?

Similarly, I noticed Signal is on Flathub [1] for installing via Flatpak, but the developer account is ‘unverified’. It’s always put me off installing via this method.

It's unverified because it's not explicitly authorized by the Signal developers, Flathub's build files for signal are here: https://github.com/flathub/org.signal.Signal
