The possibility to remind people that uploads to backports are
available mostly without further checking for users of stable and thus
they should take extra care is important enough for me personally on
itself. There are other things like pointing out to the Contribute
document (again) and inviting to simply ask before doing mistakes, and
also the explicit reminder from where packages should get backported is
a recurring pattern which also comes into play.
And yes, there was the need to remove people again.
