Once you determined you want a package to be backported to a stable release, you will need to test-build and test it on the given stable release. ``pbuilder-dist`` (in the ``ubuntu-dev-tools`` package) is a very handy tool to do this easily.

To report the backport request and get it processed by the Backporters team, you can use the ``requestbackport`` tool (also in the ``ubuntu-dev-tools`` package). It will determine the intermediate releases that package needs to be backported to, list all reverse-dependencies, and file the backporting request. Also will it include a testing checklist in the bug.
