The packages are not in backports yet and have to go through the backports NEW queue [1]. If I am not mistaken, the same rules as for the regular NEW queue apply, such that the initial upload has to be done by a DD. I had sponsorships of the initial upload for other packages before (cgit, twinkle) for which I have DM upload rights. [1] https://ftp-master.debian.org/backports-new.html Peter
