I certainly see a value for users in having Helix backported to stable, but I expect it to be a quite challenging tast due to the fast-paced development of the Rust compiler and library ecosystem. You are quite welcome to try tackle that challenge if you like, but I won't sponsor your work - I will not rubberstamp works of others, only sign off on works I am actively involved in developing myself, and as stated above I expect such a backporting task to be quite a heave task that I am not willing to engage in (in addition to the projects I am already engaged in). You are also wlecome to join the general Debian maintenance of the hx package, if that might interest you.
