I was the one who requested your ban, due to the massive amounts of spam to our trackers, and the resulting backscatter of email to every backports developer (I believe at least 400 emails if not more were sent). The resulting influx of now invalid bugs has made the trackers you spammed (and it is spam) unusable since we can't easily find valid requests among all the garbage, and I've asked LP staff to delete all the bugs you filed against our trackers.

It is rude to file so many bugs without discussing it with the project administrators, especially if there was a chance if these bugs were invalid. Furthermore, there is a VERY clear criteria for what qualifies for a backport and what doesn't, and it quite clear that you didn't bother to check the page on the proper way to request a backport. I ask that you please stop touching any bugs on our trackers; we will close these bugs ourselves, and ask that you do not file any backport requests until you are clearly familiar with the process. Taking the [needs-packaging] bug, and subscribing it to the backports trackers is NOT the way to request a backport!
