We should revisit the decision to have email notifications disabled by default in all projects on Salsa. While anyone can enable notifications for packages they maintain at https://salsa.debian.org/-/profile/notifications, it would probably be better if maintainers got notification emails by default from the Salsa repositories hosting their packages. I understand that some people like to turn of the MR feature completely on their repositories, but I would advise against that, as it is a major killer to collaboration. Not only does it signal to contributors to the existing package that the maintainer is not interested in spending time/effort on accepting contributions, but it also makes it hard for abandoned packages to have spontaneous collaboration arise and salvaging started as the potential collaborators would never end up seeing each others MR submissions.
