Yep, but I can't tell you 'cos I wouldn't be being mean! ;-) Seriously though, you shouldn't contact the maintainer(s) directly unless they ask you to. This mailing list and ones like them are designed specifically to help and most of the time, the maintainer is on the list. As all of the package maintainers are volunteers it'd help if you could help. :-) Meaning, you have a problem, so if you can root around (try strace'ing and look in the source) and try and look for the problem it might help them find it, or even fix it.
