For a slightly bigger window of context, note that non-Salsa hosted packages in 2023 hovered around 2600-2500, and starting from April 2024 it has been going down rapidly, reaching1928 as your latest figure shows. I am glad to see this progressing. 20230701 2596 20230801 2577 20230901 2549 20231001 2550 20231101 2570 20231201 2564 20240101 2542 20240201 2542 20240301 2538 20240401 2524 20240501 2439 20240601 2349 20240701 2296 20240801 2274 20240901 2221 20241001 2180 20241101 2117 20241201 1990 Hopefully DEP-18 in https://salsa.debian.org/dep-team/deps/-/merge_requests/12 can be finalized in early 2025 and help foster a culture of collaboration, where it is easy to contribute to any package, in which being hosted on salsa.debian.org is a key advantage.
