Opening PRs/MRs are typically how most of the git forges are used for contributions.
Having salsa and allowing to open MRs and then saying that you will accept a patch only if you file a bug report via BTS with proper tags is somewhat an anti-pattern. Opening an MR here *is* a way to communicate with you. Mailing you separately is adding another layer to that communication which I think I do not understand. Sending a mail/mentioning on MR makes sense if it does not come into notice or the maintainer forgets about it. But deliberately ignoring it is a little odd. But then, YMMV ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
