The upstream site is now: http://pkg-shadow.alioth.debian.org/

There is also a tracker:
http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?atid=411481&group_id=30580&func=browse

The pkg-shadow-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org mailing list is used for
upstream development, and your bug was forwarded there.

There are no problems in submitting the bug to the Debian BTS.

Lenny is currently frozen and only changes fixing release critical bugs
are allowed.
For Etch also, only critical/security bugs can receive uploads.
So, yes, if you are using a stable release, you will have to wait for
the stable release _after_ lenny.

In the mean time, you can probably use usermod instead.
(depending on what you want to achieve, "usermod -G <group> <user>" can be
used)
