We are talking about following the rules[1].

Did this bump fix some serious issue, that you need to fix without
notifing maintainer, as our policies states?

I did not see any mentions of bugs, related to this bump, even simple
version bump bug. And not signs of issues fixed in ChangeLog message either.

Thus - i understand hasufell's reaction.

Do not get me wrong, Patrick. You, as QA team member, can touch other's
packages without prior noticing, if fixing serious issues involved. But
with great power comes great responsibility. Please, use your power more
wisely next time.

Ordinary version bump(unless we have some breakages in tree, because of
really old versions in tree) is not the case of serious issue.

You should probably file a bug on package maintainer next time, as
ordinary developers usually do for packages, that are not maintained by
them. And only if no reaction from maintainer for a reasonable time
amount will follow - bump it yourself.
