Good point.
If I were to pick between the enhancements to Debian in this area, none of
which I have time to work on and therefore can't vote on via
implementation, I'd be way more interested in avoiding the entire source
package upload process entirely and be able to just push signed Git tags
to a trusted host that stores Git repositories for our packages. Even if
those repositories were only accessible to Debian maintainers because
they're not license-reviewed.
