DEP-18: A proposal for Git-based collaboration in Debian

I am a huge fan of Git, as I have witnessed how it has made software development so much more productive compared to the pre-2010s era. I wish all Debian source code were in Git to reap the full benef...

Git is the industry standard for software development, but I thasn’t been fully adopted in Debian packaging yet. Debian development is still based on uploading tarballs via FTP.

I believe that git-based workflows could enhance collaboration, transparency, and productivity for one of the world’s most vital open source projects. Increasing the use of salsa.debian.org, Debian's GitLab instance, would be a good step towards collaborative git usage.
