He should contact the current debbugs people, to see if they have anything
planned(this particular debbugs person does). He should at least give a heads
up, straight to the debbugs people(owner@bugs) when he started this.
Let's draw a parallel.
When someone is going to do an NMU on a package, then mail the maintainer of
the package, they don't mail -devel. And even when they do NMU, again, they
don't mail -devel. What Matt has done, is start on an NMU, but hasn't
actually done it yet.
