I don't think there is a policy issue with uploading this backport
yourself (so no toe-stepping involved), but by uploading that backport
you commit to keep it alive during the lifetime of stretch-backports.

The question would rather be if there might be technical issues
resulting from that upload for users of packages that use nautilus-python.
