That was from me. :-)

Patches against current CVS libtool are definitely preferred even
though this puts more burden on the patch submitter.  The easier and
less risky your patch is to apply, the more likely it is to make its
way into libtool.  Libtool is complicated code with lots of similar
parts, so it is easy for 'patch' to screw up if the patch was from a
somewhat different libtool.  Also, the patch submitter may discover
that the bug he found has already been corrected in CVS.

The AUTHORS file lists all the formal maintainers, past and present.
Several of these authors have not maintained libtool in several years.
