I guess option B is best for now.

You don't need to be a MySQL/MariaDB expert in any way to submit
patches regarding the packaging. I am sure you are in Debian packaging
an expert or more. This package is huge and there is a lot of work
maintaining it, so we would prefer patches via Salsa (as many other
Debian packges too now and even more so in the future). The MR process
will automatically test and verify that your patch has no obvious
regressions.
