Hello,
Personally, I don't think it is desirable for people who are not
certified as belonging to the Debian team to offer Debian-embeddable
packages through official Debian URLs.
There are too many potential safety issues with such methods.
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.

Hi,
finally, after more than 20 years with Debian (professionally,
mostly as
sysadmin), I have more time to dedicate to the community.
I made the backport of timeshift_20.11.1-1 (using
https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingFormalBackports
<https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingFormalBackports>, of course).
The reason of the backport is that in few on "my" servers I needed
the
last package because of special characters in LUKS (and more few
other
things)
I have only to sign the backport with gpg and submit with dput.
My question is, what are the procedures for this step? I could not
find
that much.
Do I need a special email address? For sure someone in Debian will
have
to approve the push.
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.
Cheers
Kyle
