How to Report an issue to an RPM maintainer??

[Michael D. Setzer II]

Just found a bug in dialog program with --pause option.
Have a project (G4L) that uses it, and it worked fine all 
the way up to Fedora 32. 
That has Version: 1.3-20191210.

Just upgraded build machine from Fedora 32 to Fedora 
33, and found the command no longer works. It shows the 
count down value, but never counts down.
Fedora 33 has dialog - Version: 1.3-20200327.

Contacted the maintainer, and got an immediate reponse 
that it was a bug, and had been fixed after that version.
Downloaded the current latest source code Version: 
1.3-20210324. Built it, and it works fine on the Fedora 33

Was looking for who to contact, but don't know where or 
to who I would report the issue.

Solved my problem, but would like to get it resolved for 
other that might have some that that uses dialog with the 
--pause option.

Thanks.

Since you already contacted "upstream" and you're aware of the fix you
may file a bug with bugzilla.redhat.com to make sure the fix is included
in the package.

Matthew Miller wrote a nice blog last week about this sort of thing:
