it is unlikely the release team would approve a new upstream release
(no matter how minor that is) or even a patch for software outside of
jessie (as certbot is only in jessie bpo)

i think this is a better approach, as most/all the other modules for
certbot are in bpo anyway; if you want you can go ahead and upload
psutil to jessie-backports, or I can do that, but will take me few
days to get to it
