If the problem is only for backports.org, i would say no. There is no
chance to have a good transition due to external factor (Zack ask the
authorization and RM answer to wait due to other big transition). So, in
order to keep a good chance to upload and let OCaml packages not be
blocked, i think we should wait for an OK of RM...
(if the problem has been with a serious bug in ocaml, solved in 3.10.2,
i would have agreed).
BTW, thank you for maintaining packages in bpo. I ask that my key to be
added to bpo, but i have no answer concerning that (to also make
backports).
