That's not a strict requirement, but it generally is a good idea to
contact the maintainer(s) beforehand (sometimes they're willing to do
the backport themselves, which saves you time and effort).
Well, sure I'll maintain them. People have struggled long enough with these
two packages in Wheezy.
Please reply to the mailing list. Do keep in mind that "maintain"-ing
them as a backports maintainer means that you'll have to deal with any
bug reports against your backported packages, and those are supposed
to be reported through the debian-backports mailing list as well, so
please subscribe to the list if you haven't already.
