By the way, I know that packages usually have their maintainers - is
it considered inappropriate to commit upgrades to other people's

about minor utilities such as this one?
I think you should file an upgrade bug in Mantis first. Most
maintainers use their own packages and keep it up to date but if they
don't respond you can post on the maintainers list about taking over
the package.
I didn't intend to take over the package;
If you build the package you take it over. AFAIK there is some
kind of automatism on the release-side that changes the owner
e. g. on http://www.opencsw.org/packages/clusterssh on package
release.
I just felt I would spend
more time on Mantis than it took me to just up the package version and
build it. Of course, I can stop doing that and use Mantis instead.
It is more formal, but also more polite :-) If the maintainer
didn't fix it in a reasonable timeframe you can still take it
over.
Best regards
