hi, just adding some random data points to this thread: - I love git. - I very much dislike git-buildpackage, too much magic. I try to avoid it where I can. - I like salsa. (though I think for many new contributors this is rather a barrier "why not use github" directly. Also salsa is Debian only, which also is a barrier for some.) - I love autopkgtests. - I hardly every look at the autopkgs logs on salsaci, cause I find them incomprehensible and the javascript "UX" makes me wanna chop wood. - I also think disallowing single-person maintainership would be very unwise, though I agree team maintenance in general is probably better thansingle-person maintainership. Still disallowing single-person maintainershipdoesnt make a team and motivation lost is often motivation lost forever.
Very well summarized, fully agreeing with the above, esp. the part about single-person maintainership (let's simply keep it and, at the same time, encourage people to work in teams).
Also regarding gbp, my packaging workflow does not require it (debian/-folder-only in Git). Being enforced to use some other pkg'ing style would reduce my fun and end up with less productivity, I fear. The gbp workflow has its pros, but for me it is a too complex overhead without much gain to the end result (the uploaded package).
Debian is about freedom, so let's apply that to free choice of the tooling to be usable.
