The following procedure is common: - reproduce the bug within maxima (you can get a maxima console with "sage -maxima" command) - if the bug shows an issue in the interface between Sage and maxima, fix it within Sage (with a corresponding doctest) - if the bug actually comes from maxima, then report the bug upstream https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/bugs/ - once the bug is fixed, either wait for the new maxima version, or add the corresponding patch in SAGE_ROOT/build/pkgs/maxima/patches/ so that the bug is fixed in Sage (depending on the emergency) - a common mistake at this point is to close the Sage ticket. Don't do that. Instead, add a doctest showing that the bug is fixed, so that we get informed if it reappears.
