This is great.

There is no need to wait. Anyone can work on bugs and submit additions
to existing reports.
If you mail <bugnumber>@bugs.debian.org, the mail will automatically
be forwarded to the maintainer. So this is what you should do. It also
archives your mail and makes a patch, workaround etc. visible for
anyone, even if the maintainer is busy.
