That wouldn't be changed by having all repositories on Salsa. You would
need to require the same permissions for all packages.
Some packages might even require signing some legal document to
contribute to (unless you NMU them)...

Most other distributions I know about seem to have only the packaging
information (debian/*) and not the upstream source in their version
control system. So more people might be familiar with this; it also
also makes tree-wide changes to packaging much easier ;-)
