I guess something that changed since then is that upstream is aware
about it and can help a bit with backporting. However the onus to
maintain it in stable is still on the maintainer and security@ (to some
extent)
It is bit of a high-effort maintainance (in stable) as far as I can see.

Since I had done quite a bit of work on this, I'm a sad to see this
happen, as fasttrack still has much less visibility / availability than
an official stable release, or even backports.
