I spent a couple of hours to put my own wishes in the system. If you
support those improvement ideas, please up-vote them:

* Better infrastructure to manage transitions:
  https://salsa.debian.org/debian/grow-your-ideas/-/issues/21

* We should trim the base system to be more container friendly
  https://salsa.debian.org/debian/grow-your-ideas/-/issues/20

* Unified workflow for package review
  https://salsa.debian.org/debian/grow-your-ideas/-/issues/19

* Debian should provide high quality ansible roles (and/or salt formulas, etc.)
  https://salsa.debian.org/debian/grow-your-ideas/-/issues/18


There are certainly more important ideas that are not recorded there
yet but I leave that up to others to file them if they care about
those:

- interactive (read-write) web-frontend for bugs.debian.org

- the Maintainer/Uploaders listing in debian/control should be replaced
  with something more dynamic/fluid, representing better the kind of
  commitments that each of us makes towards a given package (and the kind
  of control that we ask in exchange)

Cheers,
