There's a procedure for getting uploads to stable approved.

Please start by preparing a (tested) debdiff against the current stable
package. Contact the Debian Stable Release Managers asking for approval
of uploading the changes, refer to this bug report and attach the
debdiff. Once your stable upload has been approved, please feel free
to poke me if you need someone to sponsor your upload.
