One thing that you can always do is upload new packages to backports.org,
regardless of whether stable itself gets updated. A lot of Debian stable
users know to look there already. I believe backports.org now uses the
same upload mechanism as Debian proper, and therefore your sponsor would
be able to upload packages there as well (but you'll want to read the
documentation first, since there are version numbering conventions, etc.,
to make upgrades work properly).
