Dear Kylin Team, first of all, I should confess that I do not know much about Kylin yet, so please forgive me if I have misunderstood some aspects of your workflow or packaging setup.
I recently came across bug #1016392 (ukui-wallpapers: Incorrect upstream monitoring) through the Bug of the Day initiative[1]. One of the goals of that initiative is to demonstrate to newcomers how Debian packages can be collaboratively maintained on Salsa, so I took a brief look at how the Kylin packages are organised. I found the Salsa group https://salsa.debian.org/kylin-team which already contains a number of repositories. However, from what I could see, only one package currently in sid (ukui-menus) appears to be maintained there. I also found 20 related repositories on GitHub and 9 more on Gitee. As an outsider, I found this a little difficult to follow, and I wondered whether there have been discussions about consolidating Debian packaging work in a single place. >From my personal perspective, Salsa is a particularly good fit for Debian package maintenance, since it lowers the barrier for collaboration and makes it easier for contributors and newcomers to participate. For the specific issue above, I would be happy to help migrate the ukui-wallpapers packaging repository to the Salsa kylin-team namespace, fix the upstream-monitoring bug, and prepare a team upload if the current uploaders agree. To make this possible, I requested membership in the Salsa team, since I assume Maintainer permissions may be needed to create repositories there. More generally, if you think a gradual migration or consolidation on Salsa would be useful and an extra helping hand would be welcome, I would be glad to assist. Kind regards Andreas.
