We quite regularly have upstreams getting access for weird architecture
failures.  There's no particular reason for those people to have salsa
accounts.

That varies.  It's LDAP, people sometimes use the ud-* suite of tools,
sometimes ldapvi.  Is salsa also going to check for debian.org accounts
when creating and renaming accounts on its side?

(Salsa doesn't use LDAP, afaik)

It does to me, since suddenly we have to care about what's on salsa,
something we've never had to care about before.  It also breaks the
invariant people have been able to trust so far, that foo@salsa.d.o is
also foo@d.o (assuming both exist).  This will no longer hold true, and
I think we'll run into security problems down the line because of it.
