new here, and bug question

[fredjame at fredjame.cnc.net]

I am seeking guidance here, RE: <https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21624>
(1) am I writing to the right list?, If not, where might I turn?
(2) what might I be able to do to help with this bug?  Or has it already being dealt with, has been dealt with?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions/guidance you may be able to offer
Regards
Fred James
