Options 2. and 3. are both OK. Document the location with `Vcs-Browser:`
and `Vcs-...:` in debian/control.


Not using option 1., "debian folder in main branch", allows Upstream
to support several Debian devirates.

Does prefer option 2.
DEP-14, https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep14/ , has
in its design support for several vendors.

Absolutely, both are OK. My impression is that Salsa is best practice,
but not the only good practice. I'm sure different situations warrant
different decisions.

To expand on that, I think Salsa is a fine choice in general, and
especially for new maintainers to collaborate with sponsors and to get
help from tools like the Salsa CI pipeline.

Sure! Anyone can create an account on salsa.

Admins manually filter signins, and then you are good to go,
you can create your salsa repo.

There is the channel #debian-mentors on OFTC IRC network where you can
chat live.
