How many packages would be affected by the GR? How many of those are key
packages? How many of those are essential for d-i?

We are past the point of allowing new source packages. But without
impact analysis, nobody will be able to provide you an answer.
I was not following the discussion of the GR in much detail, but for me
it seems that Jeremy summarized the state of the proposed GR quite
clearly in
CAD+GYvzC1eKnOf_9D75JvmCrjY1LEMz5QhTOvtQ6g5gmujoLLw@mail.gmail.com:
"I am unclear on whether existing packages in Debian are affected. Your
proposal does not indicate whether the GR would be effective
immediately."
