not so sure myself.
I do not think that we should encourage people to mail the authors first
rather than pgsql-bugs. For one thing, a lot of those addresses are
dead, and some of the ones that aren't don't respond especially fast.
If the community-at-large can't handle a bug, we certainly have enough
institutional memory to try to contact the original author, even if that
address isn't in the SGML docs.
Perhaps the at a minimum the email goes in the commit?
