JFTR: AFAIK it's not possible technically to allow commits (to master aka protected branches) and forbidding creation of new repositories. But I might miss some Gitlab details. (And I'm personally not a fan of overly complicated setups.) I can imagine that we give the Debian group access (at maintainer level), maybe get some fixes, and if we see a new repo we can always "welcome" the person as if they had asked.

Let me put it this way: in practice being a team member is no assurance against making mistakes or being unaware of best practices as well :) So I'm not afraid of any real issues. Thinking back at the Alioth times (where DDs had commit access for many years), I remember a few cases of people "donating" packages to us (kind of short-circuiting RFAs) but not of random DDs doing "messy" things. <digression> Speaking of "team practices", I'd like to remind people to create new repos by running `dpt salsa pushrepo' and only by running `dpt salsa pushrepo'. Also running autopkgtests locally before uploading package with the autopkgtest field added would avoid some "oops" moments :) </> Cheers, gregor -- .''`. https://info.comodo.priv.at -- Debian Developer https://www.debian.org : :' : OpenPGP fingerprint D1E1 316E 93A7 60A8 104D 85FA BB3A 6801 8649 AA06 `. `' Member VIBE!AT & SPI Inc. -- Supporter Free Software Foundation Europe `- NP: Donovan: Season of The Witch
