Then the package will probably get the "orphaned" status. If/when it no longer passes package checks for new version of R, it will disappear from the main CRAN directory. Basically the package author/maintainer is the only person who can supply patched version of the package, and probably the best qualified person to do so, too. There's no use filing to R-bugs for bugs in contributed packages. Do you really expect the R Core developers to fix bugs in contributed packages?
