For the sake of not surprising the maintainer, I'd recommend just sending 
them a direct email indicating your intentions and then doing the changes.
People here at Red Hat get a tonne of email spam from BugZilla so it is 
trivial to miss things if it is 1 message in a 100 you get from BZ in a
day. So the non-BZ email is more likely to be noticed & avoid the maintainer
being surprised at the changes :-)
