I think we'd all be kind of confused if someone started filing bugs
because a package was not in salsa.
There are cases where not using dh is a non-RC bug, and there are
probably cases where having someone other than the maintainer file that
bug makes sense.

It sounds like there's a proposal here with some support.
does someone want to facilitate this discussion?
* Pay attention to any issues that get brought up
* Summarize at the end
* If there is consensus to make a recommendation, figure out where it
should go and file a bug pointing to the summary.
I don't think facilitating the discussion should obligate someone to
write text for dev ref or policy or Shepherd things through those
processes.
Although obviously, the more work you put into it, the faster things
might happen.
