How long a backport must be maintained is not documented



Hi,

Looking at http://backports.debian.org/Contribute/,
especially the section "Some important note",
there seems to be no documentation on how long
a backport must be maintained.  The possible
options are:

 Until the next stable release.

 Until long term support runs out.

 Forever.

It would be good to let people know how long backports
are maintained.

On a related note there is no mention of what
to do if you make the commitment to maintain
a backport and find you are unable to meet
that commitment.  (It must happen...)

---

If I should be filing a bug report please let me
know what "package" to file against.  Thanks.

Regards,
