  1. You increase chances to find a sponsor if the upload does not contain an error (red mark) and as few as possible (ideally none) warning (yellow mark).

If you want to update the package for the branch of testing (i.e. Debian 13/trixie), the targeted distribution should be `unstable`.  The successful upload of an error-free version to unstable is a requirement for a subsequent unpdate as bpo for current `stable` / Debian 12/bookworm documented e.g., [here](https://backports.debian.org/).  Your can simultaneously upload both of the update to testing and stable to the mentors page, a sponsoring DD can schedule the deferred upload of the later as bpo.

  2. This isn't a backport, this is an update to bookworm (stable) dist.

  3. So far I understood every update to update bookworm, because it currently is branch stable .and. already published would represent an backport.  Thus, if there were already a `package X.Y.1-2~bpo12+1` with a first / initial backport, its update could be named e.g., `package X.Y.2-1~bpo12+1` to be the next one provided to bookworm, however based on previous work to `package X.Y.2-1` already present in branch `testing`, i.e. currently `trixie`.

Did I misunderstand / misread something from the survey on https://backports.debian.org/bookworm-backports/overview/ ?
