Public bug reported:
Currently you get
"No-change backport to Release
-- <BACKPORTER>"
Which, especially when there are problems like FTBFS, makes it look like
the backporter is responsible for the upload. This means that the
backporter gets hassle for problems which they should really on the hook
to fix.
We should either make the upload sponsored for the requesting user or
add a note into the automatic changelog that the backport is on behalf
of whoever. I don't know which is better; will discuss with my fellow
backporters.
