I'll just add that there is a slot called "Packages" in the bug filing
system which holds reports that don't pertain to R itself. This is
partly intended as a service to package writers, partly to have a
place to file the reports, since there is no obvious way of keeping
people from sending them in...

I see nothing wrong in itself with discussing problems in packages on
R-devel, but it may be a bit futile if the package author/porter
isn't listening.
