Hi Pierre,

No, the Contribute <http://backports.debian.org/Contribute/> page said I
should ask for review on this mailing list, so here I am.

Yes, that is correct. I just asked because contacting the maintainer of the backported package is mentioned as best practice on the very same page. Obviously my question above does not in any way oblige them to review and sponsor your upload. Informing and asking them is just a thing that I would do *before* asking for a review/upload on the backports mailinglist. Just because it is a good thing to keep others informed about stuff that likely matters for them.

By the way, did you read the other best practice hints too? They are indeed worth reading, and I definitely recommend to follow them.

Cheers,
Micha
