I completely agree. There is a lot of territorialism that is *completely* unwarranted. If you see an issue with one of my packages and want to fix it, please, be my guest. Especially if it had a bug on bugzie and you close that bug. I get an email when my packages are touched, if I don't like your change I'll tell you why and then fix it. If you horribly break my package, you may hear about it, but you certainly won't get yelled at for fixing my bugs or bumping a package.
