My experience suggests that there is no consensus on the *perceived* purpose 
of the "debian" group on salsa, because a large part of DDs seems to think 
one thing while 
https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa/Doc#Collaborative_Maintenance:_.22Debian.22_group 
says a different thing.

And the official purpose of it, as written on that link, says nothing 
about package maintenance (beyond the header): "Direct commits to 
repositories in the Debian group by any Debian developer are implicitly 
welcome."

Not to mention that it would be weird for packages to have different 
maintenance rules depending on where are their optional packaging repos 
stored.
