FTR, I feel responsible for GNU ELPA packages in the sense that I would
debug them if necessary. For Non-GNU ELPA packages I won't (exceptions
possible).
Furthermore, we offer debbugs bug tracking for GNU ELPA packages. I
don't know whether we offer the same fon Non-GNU ELPA packages.
Best regards, Michael.
