In my understanding, backports.org is not a monolithic organisation,
it's "just" a repository of packages from different people having
nothing in common.
Maybe you should try to contact and convince James Strandboge[1], which
historically provided the GNOME 2.2 backports for Woody? Maybe he is
even subscribed to this list and will read your mail.
I may be interested in helping you myself anyway.
