Notice that a group of official maintainers whose work are only to
handle a official backport, and not manage packages, would i believe
make an official backport easier to implement and be accepted..
Just go ahead with your plans, but try to discuss them with the people
who have the power to do things. And Jeff is right, unless you go ahead

Also, maybe you could contact the SkoleLinux people, they are also
interested in such a thing.
