If it’s a first time contributor, I’m going to explain to them that I am not monitoring Salsa merge requests and that they should send these friendly and verbose explanations by e-mail next time. And *before* any kind of code contribution, not at the same time or even after. But I won’t reject their contribution if I think they only skipped that step because they did not know about that requirement for working with me. Well, that might me a moot point now anyway. Thanks to messages like ansgar’s, I am now seriously considering simply no longer hosting my packages on Salsa. That would probably mean removing most of them from team maintenance, but if it means I can keep having fun contributing to Debian instead of having the feeling I have found an unpaid job with many bosses, this is a cost I am ready to pay.
