I think the Debian sysadmin team (DSA) use Puppet for this.
<https://salsa.debian.org/dsa-team/mirror/dsa-puppet/> is a public mirror.

My employer (Collabora) uses OBS for Debian derivatives, but we've had
to make some changes to make it work better with .dsc/.deb. I'm not sure
how many of our changes have gone upstream already and how many are still
delta in the Debian packages; at one point we also had downstream delta
beyond what's in Debian, but I hope that has all been fixed now.
