Is it best practice to have:

A separate repo hosted on salsa.debian.org.

Absolutely, both are OK. My impression is that Salsa is best practice,
but not the only good practice. I'm sure different situations warrant
different decisions.
To expand on that, I think Salsa is a fine choice in general, and
especially for new maintainers to collaborate with sponsors and to get
help from tools like the Salsa CI pipeline.
