Backporting software writting in Golang is usually between difficult to impossible, due to massive amount of go library dependency packages needed to be backported first. Please do not expect it to happen soon. You may want to propose this idea to the original Debian podman packagers (to package maintainers as shown on https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/podman or https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libpod ) and see if they could help with it.
