Yes. We might not ping the maintainer since it's team maintained, but I suppose it's always polite to do so.
I think just ping Thorsten once for confirmation (do CC to the list) if there's a significant delay in reply, I'd take the liberty to update and upload regardless.
And looks like Thorsten did it already[1], so there's nothing that we need to do right now, for this package, it's sorted.
