Dear all,

I'd like to backport the current version of xmpp-dns [1] for bookworm. 
This would also require a backport of golang-debian-mdosch-xmppsrv [2].

As the backports contribution guidelines [3] require a "notable 
userbase" I'd like to ask here.

As xmpp-dns is new in backports the popcon is pretty low and therfore 
I'd like to ask the mailing list whether a backport would be accepted.

A reason for a low popcon might also be that the overlap between users 
of XMPP and privacy aware people seems to be pretty high and I suppose 
that privacy aware people don't opt-in to telemetry and therefore might 
often not participate in popularity-contest. I usually opt-out (or do 
not opt-in) for telemetry myself. Debians popularity-contest is the only 
telemetry I knowingly allow. :)

Best regards,
Martin
