Interesting. I'm not sure it makes things easier for me... ;)

I just would like to make some correlation between when new code is publicly available (through GitHub for example) and when it's integrated into official Debian repositories.
Maybe I can use section "news" on https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/my_package? I suppose there is no mention of stable (only experimental, unstable, testing and backports) into this section because testing becomes stable when the latter is released? If true, it would be handy to mark somewhere the transition between both repositories though.
NB: we can take a common example if it's easier to understand each other: copyq
