I think that the interest in the FOSS community is relatively low given the centralized format in which Signal is offered.

How is Signal offered in a 'centralized' way? There is a free and open-source implementation that already (according to Moxie) supports federation. And a standing offer from the authors to help anyone doing further work on federation. What more could one reasonably expect, short of demanding OWS do the work.

Do read the linked article. It describes the situation quite a bit better than I can.
