I just tried performing the DEP14 migration as a DM and got:

It would be useful for either the --help or the manpage to tell which token scopes are needed for the conversion steps to succeed.

Hi Martin-Eric!

The DEP-14 conversion tool uses the 'salsa' tool for GitLab
interactions. What is stated at
https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/devscripts/salsa.1.en.html
applies for it.

However, I agree it would be easier if the man page for the DEP-14
conversion tool had this and the suggested permissions explained. I
will look into that soon.

I already have created a token. What needs to be documented is 1)
which scopes must be selected when creating the token for the above
command to succeed. 2) any caveat that applies to DM, but not
full-fleged DD.
