Is LineageOS for microG legit? (lineage.microg.org)

Is this as safe as installing Lineage OS, microG, and F-Droid seperately? I am thinking to finally make the jump away from Android (and preferrably all of Google) and this looks like a really really handy solution. Perhaps too handy, if you get my drift. Is this a legit project or is it just a wrapper to send all my data to Tel Aviv?

With enough time and coffee I think I could eventually manage to install Lineage OS, microG, and F-Droid individually but LineageOS for microG seems to have it all wrapped in a bow for me.

TIA!

It's legit. I guess they receive LineageOS updates directly, in which case I don't think there's any real disadvantage here.

(also, I'm not here to tell you how to live your life, but you might hopefully find a slightly less toxic open source community over at !opensource@programming.dev )
