 Hi,

 Yes I agree. I would not expect you or Linus Torvalds to be the people 
 new contributors in Debian would interact with. Also due to nature of 
 the packages you have, the chances of you uploading and ignoring 
 pending contributions are very low. For an average package, it is 
 however sad to see people I mentor submit perfectly valid 
 improvements, only to see them being neglected and the maintainer 
 doing the same change themselves in vain.

 It is not me demanding you to do something *my* way. My first message 
 included the list below, showing thousands of MRs across Debian, so 
 surely it is more of "our" way than just me alone, and sending a 
 reminder for people using Salsa to review Merge Requests should not be 
 that controversial.
