No. We take backports from the developmental Ubuntu release. What backports most needs is people to test packages. To be a member of the group that approved backports, you need to be a MOTU, but anyone can request and test. Please come help out as we have far more requests than can be tested. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports > See maybe I'm not understanding it, but in order to provide packages, > either new or updates it was my believe you had to be a MOTU. To actually upload packages to the archive, you need to be a MOTU, but we have a review process in place to allow non-MOTUs to contribute both new and updated packages. You most emphatically do NOT have to be a MOTU to contribute (you don't even need to intend to become one).
