How do you open defects against findbugs-maven-plugin

[DavidWilliams]

Hi Everyone,

What is the process for opening defects against a plugin.  In my case, I'm 
using the findbugs-maven-plugin version 1.1 with the 
<xmlOutput>true</xmlOutput> option.  I have noticed that the bugs found I 
are duplicated in the findbugs.xml file.  The html page is fine.  This 
seems to be a bug to me?  Has anyone else experienced this?  Am I missing 
something?  If not, please let me know the process for logging a defect. 
Below are excerpts from my findbugs.xml and pom file.  Any feedback anyone 
can provide is greatly appreciated.  Thanks for your help!!  David
