If your bugfix is simple and without other (potential) side effects, then you
can make a new version of the package incorporating your changes. Add a
description of your changes to the source code, add a contact address, and make
this new version available for everybody. Then upload the package to CTAN. That
last step is the problem - I also don't know how to upload a package so that it
is "registered" in CTAN. Perhaps someone else on this list can provide some
more info.

administrative side of things, if that's possible.

You should "adopt" the package and become the new maintainer, perhaps.

Hi Everyone,
A couple of years ago, I raised an issue I had encountered with the arcs
package (see below for the complete run of messages). A solution was proposed
by Michael Sharpe and Joseph Wright wrote that he would mention the issue on
c.t.t., as messages to arcs' author bounced. The solution, which I add manually
to arcs.sty is:
"The arcs package depends on the relsize package which did change a few months
ago in a way that requires a small change in the arcs package. You need to add
the line (just after \RequirePackage{relsize} is a good place}
\long\def \@gobblethree #1#2#3{}
and then change the line
\let \rs@size@warning = \@gobbletwo
to
\let \rs@size@warning = \@gobblethree
because, in relsize.sty, the macro \rs@size@warning is now defined to have
three arguments, the last of which (6.0pt) was being left as printable text.
This problem is a LaTeX issue and has nothing particular to XeTeX."
The arcs package was never updated and the issue persists. Is there anyway
these changes could be incorporated into arcs.sty? I use arcs quite often and
it would be a great help if the changes could become part of the code.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Arash

Thank you, all, for your feedback. I can wait for the fix to be applied.
Joseph: if you hear anything, could you please post it here?
Many thanks and best wishes,Arash

Message to the arcs author bounced. I'll raise this on c.t.t.: the
package is LPPL so a change can be sorted out if he can't be found.
