All packages uploaded to Debian (including backports) require either the
uploader to be a Debian Developer (and some Debian Maintainers for
particular packages). This means that packages not maintained by DDs
(there are a lot of them) are reviewed and uploads are sponsored by DDs.

Please follow https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/
The process is the same for backports - packages are uploaded to
mentors.debian.net and sponsored from there.
