I would have though so - feed the changes back to the author but if they 
do not accept them (they have the right to refuse) then you have to
either fork or keep a patch & apply as required.

We usually feed changes back to the author having created test cases for
before and after, making sure the change is minimum reqd and has no
side effects. It can take a while to do this and somethimes takes over a
month to get a positive response, so patience is reqd :-)

We currently have four such modules that have elicited negative of no 
response from the author. We keep patches for all of them.
