Hi Colin, hi all,
(customer, see below, is in Bcc:)

a customer of mine is interested in a Debian backport of OpenSSH and  
libfido2 from bullseye to Debian buster(-backports). The customer is  
ready to cover the costs for bpo-maintenance over the full  
buster-backports release cycle period, and thus, the required package  
updates in buster-bpo on the way.

I'd like to follow the Debian development flow of the openssh and  
libfido2 packages when doing this (i.e. maintaining the uploaded bpo  
packages on a Git branch), if ok on your side. I might need Git repo  
access for both projects for easily doing this.

@Colin: as the main uploader of openssh et al. in Debian. Would you be  
ok with this?

Does anyone else here have concerns, a red flag or a veto/dont-do  
regarding this endeavour?

light+love,
Mike
