That would be quite horrible IMHO, this is the de facto method that
young (let's say under 35 years old) developers use to submit
improvements to other projects. We have all the infrastructure and tools
conveniently in place to accommodate this, it seems suboptimal to treat
MRs as a second class citizen.

The Debian QA DDPO pages will show you whether you have MRs on the same
page where you see how many open bugs, RC bugs, lintian errors, etc you
have. This makes it super easy to notice MRs when doing routine checks
of your general package health overview.
