Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

If you can maintain a backport requests & urllib3 yourself, that's
perfect. This is exactly the type of reaction I was expecting from
package maintainers, and it's a lot more positive than the reaction from
Piotr.

So let's do what you suggested: if I don't see your package in
jessie-backports, I'll upload, and then you can take over as it pleases you.

Cheers,
