In this case you could gather together all the issues you find in the
documentation
for that file as a new trac ticket, then post that.   Don't worry about posting
lots -- especially to sage-devel -- since it's considered a high-volume list.
We like to keep as much of the discussion about sage in the open as possible.
Also, it is easy for people to switch to viewing sage-* in digest mode
(one email
per day) or only on the web.

In this particular case, perhaps you want to learn how to create a mercurial
patch that fixes the above problem.  Here's how:
   (1) Edit SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/sage/calculus/calculus.py and fix
the line that has "funcitons" in it (it's line 895, I think).
   (2) Start sage and build the changes:
 $ sage -br
 ...
 sage:
   (3) Check in your changes:
  sage: hg_sage.commit()
  [puts you in more, type 'q'],
  [puts you in editor -- make the first line a commit message]
  (4) See what you did:
  sage: hg_sage.log()
  displays change log
  (5) Export it as a file
   sage: hg_sage.export('tip')
  creates a file named nnnn.patch, if the number of the tip (last
patch) is nnnn.
  (6) Make nnnn.patch available to others, either by posting it to
trac or emailing it.

See http://sagemath.org/doc/html/prog/node71.html for more about the
revision control system we use.
