I learned some time ago the interpretatino of the defintion of
collab-maint on alioth was somehow disputed, but for salsa, the Wiki
says:
"The debian group is for CollaborativeMaintenance (the old collab-maint
on Alioth). The group is accessible to all Debian developers by default,
who are automatically added with Maintainer access levels. Direct
commits to repositories in the Debian group by any Debian developer are
implicitly welcome. No pre-commit coordination (e.g. merge-request or
mail) is expected."

(And I think this is a good thing to have a real collaborative
namespace)
