As a package maintainer in Extras myself, I would say that the right 
think to do would be to raise an RFE in Extras Bugzilla.

If you're really a bugzilla-phobe and want a simpler approach, you could 
try emailing the maintainer directly. A list of maintainers can be found at:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi?product=Fedora+Extras

However, some maintainers might not be happy with (or might at least 
ignore) such mail, that really ought to be sent using bugzilla.
