Not always.  Sometimes the author is further upstream yet.  That's why we
say "upstream maintainer" rather than just "author".  Think of the software
as a stream originating with the author(s) and flowing from maintainer to
maintainer until it reaches the sea of users.  Bug reports and fixes are
passed upstream against the current (and sometimes it feels that way) until
they reach the author.  New releases, hopefully incorporating the bug
fixes, flow back down.
