self-approval of uploads to -backports pocket

[Martin Pitt]

Hello Dan,

sorry for the *really* late reply! I didn't get your original emails. In the
last years, my @ubuntu.com address became a 100% spam (thousands every month)
vs. 0% signal thing. Thanks to Sèbastien for the ping!

Right. That was the original agreement in https://bugs.launchpad.net/xenial-backports/+bug/1686022
and for many years nobody processed backports.

Ack, I missed that. Sorry about that!

I'm happy to hear that there's a backports team again 🎉 I'll stop waiving them
through myself from now on. Thank you!
