Cool, this sounds reasonable. There are a few things that need to be
verified before we can approve the backports request:
1. We need to make sure the backport will work. I've uploaded a test
build of the backport to my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~broder/+archive
/backports-tests). Please verify
I think Andreas was a bit mis-informed when he told you to open a
backport request.
As a rule, we try to use the backports process to offer new features
added to newer version of software, and we use the SRU process
(http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates) for fixing bugs.
