I cannot tell you *exactly* what to do, because I don't know exactly what is gonna happen and where exactly you fit into that. What I react on is that you file a bugreport and the next I hear about it is that you issue an RFS. Filing a bugreport means "something is wrong with this package", and an RFS means "please do a sponsored upload of this package I created". There is something missing between those two, because you are not the maintainer of the package involved. Generally in Debian, the "Maintainer" field lists who is responsible for maintaining the package. Others in Debian (and outside of Debian through a "sponsor") can upload a new package, but non-maintainers are expected to coordinate uploads with the maintainer. For packages maintained by a team, it is less clear - each team decides how relaxed they handle maintainer responsibility. We have no clear rules about this in the JavaScript team, so what I find sensible as a fallback is to look at who has most recently done work on the package. What I am talking about here is not who "owns" or "holds power over" a package, but instead who is more *familiar* with the package, to not accidentally break something or maybe do duplicate work. Concretely for the package leaflet-image, I am quite familiar with it, so was surprised that you announced the need for an uploading sponsor, without any prior conversation about the bug that is supposedly fixed by that new package. So essentially what I expect is that you talk about the bugfix you have put together. E.g. share the patch you've made. Not talk to me personally, and not talk here on this mailinglist, but post followup emails to the bugreport: 1003...@bugs.debian.org Hope that makes sense - otherwise try tell what more specifically is still confusing, and I will try elaborate on that part.
