That sounds ... complicated? AFAIU, new accounts don't have "-guest" 
appended to them anymore, and I don't think anything is forcing DDs to 
use the same Salsa username as their Debian login.

Looking at the membership of the debian group [1] would probably be a 
good way to go [2], but again, we're pretty far in the "this requires a 
script using the Gitlab API" territory and I don't plan on doing that :)

Honestly, if we're only using the global Salsa activity (instead of the 
currently non-existing Debian Python Team activity), I think it's safe 
to kick everyone from the team who hasn't been active in 3 years.
