If you have a

url = https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/dbus.git

[remote "merge-requests"]
url = https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/dbus.git
fetch = +refs/merge-requests/*/head:refs/remotes/merge-requests/*
tagopt = --no-tags
then the usual `git remote update` will fetch every MR for your
inspection.
Even the ones that are opened from a differnet repository?
Yes, what matters is which repository the merge request belongs to - and
when a contributor opens a MR for a branch in a fork, the MR gets
created in the original repository that they forked from.
For example
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-desktop-team/desktop-base/-/merge_requests/7
was a request to merge a branch from my fork `smcv/desktop-base-temp`, but
you can still fetch it from `debian-desktop-team/desktop-base` as
`refs/remotes/merge-requests/7`(and I think that would remain true even
if I deleted the branch from my fork).
