I've announced (on -devel) my intention to adopt an orphaned package (ispell) while waiting for my developer application to be processed.
I'm working on some of the open bugs, and would like to contact one (or more) of the bug submitters. Should I write directly to the bug submitters and cc: the relevant bug [EMAIL PROTECTED], or is it better to just do it privately (not involve the bts) until I'm officially maintaining the package, or should I leave the bug submitters alone until I'm official? Thanks.
