As a not-really-Debian would-be contributor (though admittedly I do have
some Debian background), these all seem like fine options to me, not much
preference between them. While salsa is Debian-centric, it seems easy
enough to create a guest account, so that wouldn't bother me.

I can see how having duplication between the BTS and the 'upstream'
tracker could be cumbersome, though - but perhaps there are tools
to make forwarding/tracking less painful? Seems like something that
would benefit many projects.
