Martin,

Circa 2023, the Backports process was **redesigned entirely**, and we
made backport requests the same like SRU requests, so that they get
filed against the specific packages themselves on Launchpad.  The entire
process is also heavily dependent on the *requestor* following the
process for verifying building works, adjusting bugs in the Backports
pocket when things need fixed, making sure autopkgtests and stuff
succeed, and also testing the package.  Additionally, the Backporters
team now acts more like the SRU team does, *approving* Backports rather
than "doing all the work".

If it's been a while you should review
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports but I know we - the Backporters
team - had to go a roundabout way to nag you about cockpit because of
not requesting the initial approval, certain cases, etc. that we were
annoyed about. But yes, cockpit is one of the few things we have the
exception for.

I'm not near my computer or my keys right now - I'm borrowing a Windows
tablet from my job right now to reply to bugs, etc. - but if you get a
sponsor to upload this then we can address the upload there from the
queue.  Failing that, I can sponsor you when I'm near my computer
tomorrow.
