Yes, we really want to provide supported backports, and that means there must be testing. Creating a bug report doesn't take more time than testing the backport in Mageia 1, so I don't think this will be a big overhead, apart for packagers who don't test their backports themselves. To summarize : - you are free to submit in backports_testing (so in a certain way the package is available in Mageia 1 directly) - for the package to be promoted in the official backports media, there must be a QA validation Best regards Samuel Verschelde
