Loring, interesting idea.

AFAIK, currently it's the job of the original author and I'm not
proposing to change this for now. There might be conflicts that need to
be resolved and the original author better knows how to handle that.

Having backport: stable/havana will help to check that the backport is
actually done - a job for some volunteer(s).

Or some people do this regularly...

I prefer to do my backports myself - to get them in quickly ;) but
wouldn't object at all to hand this over if somebody volunteers,
