Did you say thanks? To any proven packagers out there, feel free to
fix bugs in any of the packages I own.
DK has a point about process, though. A patch in a package with no
useful context is one of my least favourite things. As DK says, it's
effectively a "hidden work landmine": whoever put it there has
bequeathed the poor bastard who has to deal with it in future a bunch
of needless work figuring out why the patch is there, where it came
from, and when it can be removed.
