You can do pretty much anything under your user on salsa (just like
when you use gitlab or github), you are only limited to not pushing
changes to other people's/teams projects (but you can always create
your own under your user).

I checked out seclists and I don't think I understand, that packaging
probably didn't come from Kali cause it's missing some important
things from Kali's packaging of seclists around that time. I couldn't
identify what changes there were required for the Debian packaging,
eg.: why didn't you use Kali's package instead?
My suggestion is to identify a package which you think it's the
closest to be ready for Debian and then work on that. But it's
important to check what are the differences in your packaging vs
Kali's to evaluate if it's better to start from scratch (based on
Kali's packaging) or continue with your version.
You can also identify which of those packages have improvements
performed over Kali's packaging, write down what those improvements
are[0], and then only upload the packages which have these
improvements. Unfortunately it might be unlikely that someone will
have time to go through all of your packages looking for those
improvements, as basing the packaging on Kali's is already quite a
good baseline.
[0] I suggest sending this summary here as well, as we can help
identify which ones could save the most time.
Thank you,
