FTR, this is:

I suggest attaching the patch to the upstream bug, so that it doesn't
get lost in the mailing-list archive.

I suspect the maintainers will want to see upstream review and ack the
patch first. But still, it would be good to get this in Jessie in time
before December 5 (it's an important bug, not a RC one).

It depends on how the package is maintained. In this case, see
debian/README.source in the source package :)
