So I wonder why you don't just provide an additional branch
"master-patched" against which merge requests can be opened without the
risk of causing conflicts with existing patches.
This can be easily done with git-buildpackage's `pq` (patch queue)
subcommand. And it could be automated on salsa.d.o with a post-receive hook.
```
$ # turn debian/patches* into a branch
$ gbp pq import
$ # force push the generated branch to the repo on salsa
$ git push -f salsa patch-queue/master:master-patched
```
MRs against master-patched will then be possible, but they will require
one extra step from the maintainer (i.e. `gbp pq export`) to turn these
MRs into normal standalone patch files stored in debian/patches.

PS: `gbp pq import/export` is a much better interface to debian/patches
compared to plain `quilt`.
