Yes, Debian specific ... and https://salsa.debian.org is Gitlab instance
Debian is using for the vast majority of packages.  In general there are
good reasons to do the packaging there (for instance to not disturb
upstream maintainers like you with the communication ;-) ) but there are
exceptions from this rule.  I'd be happy to hear from the persons
(Anibal and Nathan are listed) who usually care for the Debian packaging
whether such an exception are these xfs related packages.

If not I'd happily lend a helping hand to migrate the Debian packaging
to Salsa.
 
Kind regards
   Andreas.
