The janitor bot can be added to our salsa groups and he can be configured
to push changes directly instead of proposing merge requests.
All the above operations are simple automatable jobs that only result in
changes to the git repositories (mainly updates to the pristine-tar
branch).
I would thus suggest to add this functionality to the janitor and I
believe the right place for this is here:
