What I'm currently missing is the ability to say: this package isn't QA maintained, but everybody is free to upload. Maintainer: Debian <everybody@debian.org> Uploader: me and some others Or ideally even without the Uploader field set, but currently that's a policy violation. Than this could become the opt-in way of saying this within the /debian namespace. I would love to set this on e.g. liferea and dbconfig-common.It could point to a real mailing list (debian-collab-maint@lists.debian.org).
List-masters explicitly wrote that they don't want Debian lists to be in these fields. And IMO they are right: the tracker alias is there for it.
I'm also not sure that using the 'debian' salsa group for that is the best. This "Debian collab-maint team" would be a good opportunity to welcome newcomers, but if they can't get commit access before they are DDs, it makes it inconvienent for them to contribute. A dedicated team would allow to give access to non-DDs with limited privileges (for example using protected branches).
I'm not against it, I'm just against moving so many packages from one namespace to another (and that, not only because I'll be doing the work as Salsa admin...).
Note I'm kind of only nit-picking here, but mostly agree with you globally, so take it the correct way please! :)
