Looks like there have been no objections. To be clear, I understand that
you're also volunteering for the day-to-day role?

+1. It appears that Mattia and Dan are currently the only volunteers.

There has been no objection, so I intend to make the changes as agreed
in this thread as soon as ~techboard gets control of the team. Since
there is consensus here, I see no need to ask for TB permission
specifically (or, if you prefer to consider it this way, I will use my
TB hat to JFDI).
I haven't managed to reach ScottK who currently owns the
~ubuntu-backporters team. However he stepped away from Ubuntu
development quite a long time ago, and I don't think he would have any
objection to handing over the reins to ~techboard. So I filed
https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/698165 yesterday to
request this change.
Assuming the change is made, following my proposal detail, I intend to
remove everyone from ~ubuntu-backports and add Dan as its sole admin,
and then let Dan take it from there (I assume he will add Mattia as a
team member, and maybe Iain).
If we can't have ~ubuntu-backporters, I suppose I could register
~ubuntu-backporters2 and swap the queue ACLs over, but this seems
unlikely (and suboptimal).

This sounds good to me. These steps 3-5 would be for you (Dan) to
organise.
Thanks,
