IMO, and from discussions in the Debian Perl Group, the blocker is
the conversion of existing repos, both on salsa (which should be
doable via the API as suggested in the sketches mentioned above) and
also locally for hundreds of developer machines [git fails horribly
on the upstream/ → upstream/latest change].

Some notes are in https://gobby.debian.org/export/Teams/Perl/new-branch-layout
from 2022; just to show that this is all not totally trivial … 

Cheers,
