I don't really think it's important to get someone else's approval.
If you can show you've fixed a bug (via a test case) then go ahead
and commit it. Maxima has many authors and it's mostly not worth
the trouble to figure out who's in charge of some piece or another.
In the event that someone who could be identified as "the author"
of some bit, let them change deal with it after the fact; we have
more to lose by waiting for approval to change things.

Incidentally, if you are indeed seeking someone's approval,
you really need to be more explicit about it. I wouldn't have
guessed from your original message that you were hoping
for approval from someone.

FWIW
