Please refer to devref ยง5.5.1 [1] before preparing an updated package for stable. Essentially, you have to request permission from the release team first, and only if approved should you then proceed to ask around for a sponsor. Also note that the requirements for introducing an update into stable are very stringent, even more so than getting an updated package into testing during a freeze (which can be quite difficult to do). If you can argue that your updated package fixes "a truly critical functionality problem", preferably with as small a diff as possible (otherwise the package may just end up being removed from stable altogether), then go ahead, otherwise just get your fixes into unstable and into the next stable release.
