Separately, I'm unhappy about continuing any process which gives some set of privileged people access to upload to backports but is effectively closed to everyone else. This isn't very Ubuntu. Either the privileged people need to sort out an effective review process, or the pocket should generally be closed to new uploads regardless of your status.
Have we actually confirmed this though, Robie? If I remember right, I was able to push something to -backports with my coredev once, and it didn't complain on the upload permissions side of things. Unless I am forgetting something, it LOOKS like upload rights from Core Dev still give backports access...
