I think the message is not clear. Mobifree is not a software stack, or a consortium, or that kind of thing. TFA and the official site make a poor job at explaining what it is.
Mobifree is a grant from the EU to any open source maker. This means existing applications can do the changes everyone complains about all the time while its developers see some of their pressure relieved. New software, infrastructure can pop up for the benefit of everyone, hardware projects can iterat a few more times to make something right. Anyone can actually apply for some it through https://nlnet.nl/mobifree https://nlnet.nl/mobifree : NLNet is an NGO that has repeatedly helped and supported the floss ecosystem, but this time with a focus on mobile. You can see their sub-grant here: https://nlnet.nl/mobifree/ https://nlnet.nl/mobifree/
F-droid is the expected partner for this given they only distribute floss software by default.
The grant page has maybe more information: https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101135795 https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101135795
