That is great!!! So, we will get backports of the important packages soon...
In principle, you now just need a sponsor, and discuss the remaining
things (if any) with him. I don't want to do this myself, since I never
did a backport myself, and so I don't have the experiences of the
possible pitfalls here. I put Andreas and Steffen into Cc:, maybe they
could have a look and sponsor these packages for the first time. Once
they are there, I have no problem to set the maintainer-allowed flag for
the packages so that you can maintain the backports directly yourself.
Best regards
Ole
