This describes me.

I use and am enthusiastic about git, and when the workflow is not
obvious from team policy or whatever, I document it in README.source.
I took time to write up the complex workflow emacs.git uses (not
developed by me) precisely so that more people could become involved.

I am happy to use salsa for git hosting and access management.
I love that I can easily grant push access to my non-DD team members.

But, I turn off salsa MRs for the repos of all packages I regularly
upload.  I would hope that this DEP can be written such as to account
for these sorts of choices.
