The tracking, branching and merging code is around literally since the IT stone age[1]. There were various tools and services built around SCCS, RCS, CVS, SVN, Git and others and yet they were and still are lacking features we really need for proper bug tracking in packages. Salsa is a nice maintenance flow supplement but can not replace Debian BTS. Sorry, that is how it is. I fully agree with the initial best practices proposal stating that merge requests in salsa have to be attended to or otherwise this feature has to be disabled as per package maintainer preference.
