why is that a pain? It's more the usual way in my eyes.
It's not that write access can not be given, but there is a lot of trust
needed to give contributors full write access.

So why not start as every contribution is typically starting? In the old
days a patch set was needed to send to a list, this isn't needed as
creating MRs on Salsa is really easy and cheap.
If you can contribute at a high level we can grant write access to the
webwml repo later.

Even previous Debian project leaders doing MR for updating the Debian
website.

I see no problem if you start your work within your own namespace and
create various MRs. The typical review can be done at any time.
