I think it's falling between two stools: are you giving project
improvement ideas or a personal view of how to package (which seems very
perscriptive and im afraid not clearly argued)?

I think the you could edit it to something much shorter
that said:

- all packages should be available in git via salsa.debian.org
- salsa CI should be enabled
- (sensible) merge requests on salsa should be accepted

this first doesnt preclude people having other workflows as well, but
the 3rd ensures people can take advantage of modern approaches
