    Hi,

    I have a question related to Debian backports.

    How are packages added to backports? From my understanding this depends
    on the package maintainer.

    That is true generally. But as a non-DD you have to find a sponsor for
    that as well. Just use dch --bpo to generate a valid version number and
    target release.

    Also can packages still added to bullseye backports?

    Yes. You can upload a version based on the bookworm release version to bullseye-backports. Oy you can add a version based on testing to bullseye-backports-sloppy.

    Thanks Kind regards
