Playing man in the middle for every bug is the matching problem for the
case where the maintainer does the forwarding. So given that you have
the main interest in getting this bug fixed (as it's quite niche and
doesn't affect most Debian users) the direct communication between you
and upstream is IMO the best way forward. Ideally keep
1151866@bugs.debian.org on Cc: to keep the bug updated.

Also note that for vger.kernel.org lists you don't need to subscribe to
post and the kernel folks is usually good at replying correctly there.
So there shouldn't be a need for a subscription.

Best regards
Uwe
