Hi Paul, this is gonna be a bit tricky as python-debianbts now depends on python-pysimplesoap that is not in Debian/Stable (it is in testing though). Luckily the fix you are talking about took place before the migration to pysimplesoap, so theoretically it should be possible to maintain a separate branch for backports.
The last commit that contains the fix but not the pysimplesoap stuff is 4269f9b715a7fa8b163e4cef613810e087cff321 I'd be very happy if someone else could do the backporting and uploading as I'm really swamped with work right now and don't want to deal with actively maintaining the backport too. There is also another open issue with current Stable users which should benefit from the fix without having to use backports. Maybe it's better to fix this bug in stable so you would benefit from the fix without me having to actively maintain the backport?
