Over the last years I started to take care of a fair amount of backports from Debian testing to the Debian stable release so people can enjoy newer features on their stable system without having to upgrade as a whole.
I later started to get the security-tracker of Debian to also track outstanding issues in backports versions, and prodded the Uploaders of such packages or did try to get issues fixed in a more timely manner.
Recently I got adopted into the Backports Team so it is even more on my agenda to take good care of the Backports service as a whole.
