What's the policy on making minor, harmless portfile changes to ports you don't maintain?

For example, ticket #11201 says a dependency is missing to p5-locale- gettext (namely, perl5.8). This port is maintained by [EMAIL PROTECTED] It would be a trivial fix to commit, but to be safe I simply reassigned the ticket to [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, there's no guarantee he'll actually see it.

So in a case like this, should I just go ahead and commit a fix? Or is it better to wait for the maintainer to do so, even for minor fixes like this?
