While I agree it is nice to read the issues are locally resolved, the usual
sequence here is to get first the update migrated to branch `testing`, and then
(initiated by `dch --bpo`) rebuild the package as backport.  For both, seeking a
sponsor (RFS bug ticket) via the mentors page is straight forward; the duration
to find a sponsor however can vary by time at disposition of volunteering Debian
developers who opt-in to sponsor others' work.  I do so for `ruby-mdl` -
sometimes it got done (i.e., accepted to start the 5 day clock) the same day,
other times about a week or two.

By the package tracker page, `remmina` is a team maintained; for one, if Maarten
is not / not yet a known uploader (file `d/control` and perhaps commit history
in the repository _to package_ on salsa), this calls for a NMU (a non maintainer
upload).  @Maarten: don't worry, the mentors page may generate the template for
the email to seek a sponsor.  This includes how to proceed to label the RFS as a
NMU, too.  On the other hand, it is possible (read: can ease to find a sponsor)
to cc the email about the RFS ticket to the corresponding team (here: Debian
Remote Maintainers, https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRemote,
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-remote-team).
