Yes, it makes your changes more visible and allows for peer review.
I've created the repo under the debian-gis-team namespace:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gis-team/tirex
We've had some issues in the past were Developers couldn't push to newly

fixed. Please let us know if you cannot push to the repo.

No, you should join the team and commit your changes directly.
Merge request are more appropriate for occasional contributions.
