The backporting process itself should be nearly trivial for wine. The
problem is more about that fact that whoever takes this on will need
to do uploads nearly every two weeks. So, unless you have DD or DM
upload rights, that won't be practical. If you would like to work
toward DM first, please consider contributing to the wine package
(solving bugs, proposing patches, etc.), which I will be happy to
review and possibly sponsor (wine-mono support would be nice).
Best wishes,
Mike
