Yep, but I can't tell you 'cos I wouldn't be being mean! ;-) Seriously
though, you shouldn't contact the maintainer(s) directly unless they ask you
to. This mailing list and ones like them are designed specifically to help
and most of the time, the maintainer is on the list.

As all of the package maintainers are volunteers it'd help if you could
help. :-) Meaning, you have a problem, so if you can root around (try
strace'ing and look in the source) and try and look for the problem it might
help them find it, or even fix it.
