Has anyone reported the following as Debian bugs?

- Package maintainer not visible and active in MediaWiki development

In fact, one of their patches was sent upstream a couple of months ago and we didn't react to it. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24132
It's a documentation patch, fine as it is, although i'd prefer to fix that by moving dumpBackup to the new Maintenance style.
Other patches are not so fine... wfSuppressWarnings(); - session_start(); + @session_start(); wfRestoreWarnings();
Sure, it was for FusionForge package, but still what error would session_start produce that is not trapped? (I can only make an E_NOTICE or E_WARNING...)
