I definitely hear you about "3.0 (quilt)".  dgit has thousands of
lines of code to deal with all its weirdnesses.

I'm going to take a risk of offending you with unsolicited advice:

I guess you've already tried gbp pq; if you haven't, you almost
certainly should.  If you're an emacs user, you should try magit if
you're not using it already.

Finally, it's possible that git-debrebase would suit you better.  But
git-debrebase has a different git branch format so this is a thing to
try out in a personal package first rather than in a big packaging
team.

That would be great.

FYI you can see the list what we consider blocker bugs for declaring
tag2upload no longer beta, as the Important bugs in
git-debpush and dgit-infrastructure.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;include=severity%3Aimportant;include=severity%3Aserious;include=severity%3Agrave;package=git-debpush;package=dgit-infrastructure

The biggest item there is that we want to cope better when Salsa is
having one of its flaky phases.
