The backports policy says "Please only upload package with a notable
userbase. User request for the package may be an indicator.", but I
guess this package qualifies based on the popcon information for
streamlink and livestreamer:

https://backports.debian.org/Contribute/
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=streamlink
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=livestreamer

The backports policy says "To guarantee an upgrade path from
stable+backports to the next stable, the package should be in
testing."
