Bug#1127616: developers-reference: should document using git-debpush to upload

My perception is rather different here:

Python Team:

"DPT requires a pristine-tar branch"

https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/python-modules/blob/master/policy.rst

Science Team:

"It is recommended to use pristine-tar"

https://science-team.pages.debian.net/policy/

Multimedia Team:

"gbp clone --pristine-tar"

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/DevelopPackaging

Also most of my uploads are new upstream versions.

So maybe a good first step would be to reduce the pristine-tar usage in 
Debian.

Cheers Jochen
