It's better for existng debian packages to be forked directly into
gitlab. And currently they can't build in our gitlab which is a big
part of the work.

If it's a fork of a debian package it should go straight into
devuan-packages. New as in not in debian packages should go to
devuan-for-review. However only archive maintainers can build into
jessie, ascii, *-updates and *-security. Package maintainers can build
into *-proposed, *-proposed-updates and *-proposed-security

I see devuan-for-review as being somewhat superfluous...

Nope. That's FSR's baby and if he want's to package it that's cool, if
not that's fine too. It's nice to have a remix/derivative out there as
well.

yeah it will all be push mirror based. Those not wanting to participate
in official mirrors can do what they like, but official mirrors will
need to use our mirror setup - we will have a feedback chain so we can
track which mirrors are working.

Most likely will end up as a package.

First get reportbug working and then worry about integration.

Yup - Debians source should be easily reused for this purpose. I think
the processing scripts are provide as examples in the popularity-contest
package already - so it's just the frontend that needs to be provided.
