I'll ask because the phrasing is ambiguous, and I can't tell whether
my cynicism radar is errant.

Are you implying that people with upload privileges should be
forward-porting patches, etc., too? If so, that's a noble sentiment
but sadly unrealistic. If, on the other hand, you are implying that
everyone (i.e., the community that does not have upload privileges to
Ubuntu proper) could do a better job of pitching in to forward-port,
that's quite on the mark.
