Playing man in the middle for every bug is the matching problem for the case where the maintainer does the forwarding. So given that you have the main interest in getting this bug fixed (as it's quite niche and doesn't affect most Debian users) the direct communication between you and upstream is IMO the best way forward. Ideally keep [email protected] on Cc: to keep the bug updated. Also note that for vger.kernel.org lists you don't need to subscribe to post and the kernel folks is usually good at replying correctly there. So there shouldn't be a need for a subscription.
