You cannot urge the project, that's not how we work. You have to find a
developer and convince him to take responsibility. I tried it several
times and failed, which is easily understandable: -stable maintenance
doesn't give anything back to the developer who does it, it's just work
and it never ends.

Certainly not! Backporting is often enough an extremely complex process,
you have to make sure not to break compatibility, sometimes you have to
dig through source code to find that one security fix, you are looking
for but which isn't marked in any sensible way.
