About the usage of @debian.org outside of Debian, I’d say go for it.

I have a git setup here where the committer address is set based on the directory I’m under.

All of my Debian-related stuff is in sub-directories of ~/debian/, with examples being paths
like ~/debian/games/jazz2-native/jazz2-native.git or ~/debian/logging/metalog/metalog.git

In ~/.config/git/config I have:

[include]
    path = env/default
[includeIf "gitdir:~/play.it/"]
    path = env/playit
[includeIf "gitdir:~/debian/"]
    path = env/debian

Then in ~/.config/git/env/debian I have:

[user]
    email = vv221@debian.org

Other files in ~/.config/git/env/ are similar, setting other e-mail addresses based on context.
This is relying on base git features, no need for any kind of plugin or wrapper for this to work.
