I did not notice the release_2.6 branch before. What is the intent with that branch? Do you want people to submit patches targeting 'master' or 'release_2.6'? How often do you plan to merge it to or from 'master'? The 'master' branch is still the default branch. The https://salsa.debian.org/debbugs-team/debbugs/-/blob/master/README.md does not mention anything about release_2.6. Should it? I am a big fan of READMEs and recommend using them to convey guidance to contributors (assuming you want to have contributors).
