You should get in touch with the Strongwan maintainers team
(pkg-swan-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org) to check if they would be
interested in backporting it or sponsoring your work and let you
maintain it directly.
If they don't, you can ask for a sponsor here as well. Check
https://backports.debian.org/Contribute for pointers on how to do that:
uploading your source + binary package somewhere (like
mentors.debian.net) and asking here for review and upload should be
sufficient.
Cheers !
