It's already happening at the team level, with https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/debcargo-conf.git (3187 packages) or https://salsa.debian.org/haskell-team/DHG_packages.git (1075 packages) Lucas -- UDD query: select split_part(vcs_url, ' ', 1), count (distinct source) from sources_uniq where release='sid' and vcs_url is not null group by 1 order by 2 desc;
