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.
