Well that I overdid a bit: Of course its work in a team. And for Wheezy release there is a release policy in place. But: You can help make it happen (for backports). I also want to point out, that I just give my oppinion as a user who contributed here and there and even got two packages sponsored into Debian. My answers are in no way official. In case you want to propose a freeze exception, the process is a different one than just writing to this mailing list, see: "Rule #7. If you have a package that needs a freeze exception, please don't forget to contact us, either by filing an "unblock" bug - reportbug will automatically create an appropriate template - or by mail; bugs are generally preferred for ease of tracking. Don't expect us to find out about it on our own. Putting a comment in the changelog is not contacting the release team. :)" http://release.debian.org/wheezy/freeze_policy.html See the requirements: 1) First there needs to be a package which *works*. 2) A Debian developer will have to upload it. A convincing reason rather than just demanding is required in my eyes. 3) Then request freeze exception with the release team and provide a rather good reason for it. In my eyes its too late for Wheezy and I can understand if there is no developer willing to upload it. I see no reason why something like that can´t be done for backports tough.
