Be sure to at least attempt to contact maintainers, so efforts aren't
duplicated. Some of us take more than one or two days to work through a
package upgrade, so while the bug you want to squash may look easy, it may
also already be fixed in the "soon to be uploaded" work of the maintainer.
I know you guys are in a hurry during BSPs, but you really must contact
maintainers. Just because the bug is old and unfixed, doesn't mean that
the maintainer is not aware of and working on a fix.
Also, if you make a change, and the maintainer makes an upload shortly
after without that change, it will be lost because you couldn't take the
time to contact the maintainer.
Have fun ;-)
