Obviously, if there is a nominal maintainer, you should contact him/her/them. |

But in cases like this, where open bugs show low or no activity, there is |
| 10 |
often no problem stepping on any toes. What I usually do is mail the |
| 11 |
maintainer or herd to which it is assigned, and ask if there are any |
| 12 |
objections to fixing it. If no objections are raised within a reasonable |
| 13 |
timeframe (depending on the seriousness of the bug), I would go ahead. |
