You're not likely to piss off a DD by submitting a real bug (speaking as a DD). However, evalutate the helpfulness of doing that versus sending it upstream yourself. I don't mind receiving such a bug report for core functionality of a package, specially for a package that gets updated upstream often. However, submitting a bug report for an obscure lisp function in Emacs, which gets a new upstream release about once a year, is not very helpful. It clogs up the BTS and the maintainer will have to revisit the bug much later to see evaluate if it was fixed in a new version (unless he patched it himself). Just my opinion of course.
