Not me. But I am working on similar things so here is my thought.

I see you created ddp "project" under Debian group.
But many other teams with many projects under a group create their own
purpose "group".
https://salsa.debian.org/dashboard/groups has many "group"s.
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-ayatana-team
https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team
I thought we create debian-documentation-team here is the right way.

Currently, there is no easy way to add another group for group, we need
to add debian group to each project as a member. All *-guest needs to
be added manually.

Although we can make a project (=repo) under debian group and add
debian-documentation-team as a member for each project, creating
projects (=repo) under debian-documentation-team group may be better in
future. We need to add debian group as a member for each project.
Similar situation is described here:

We need to update cron script. Now that is on salsa.

Yes. One more point. If you continue to build web page from VCS, that
is one way and very CPU intensive if PDF are generated.
Many DDP documents have moved to build web page from published unstable
package approach. maint-guide, debian-reference, debian-handbook, ....
All these package need to be migrated to salsa. (They are already in
git so migration are easy)
https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/cron/blob/master/parts/7doc
If you use this approach, only cron script update is needed. No need to
access VCS server.
cron script needs to be adjusted if building method is changed from VCS
to unpacking of unstable package.
https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/cron
For https://www.debian.org/doc/ pages, we need to update:
https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml
