But in cases like this, where open bugs show low or no activity, there is often no problem stepping on any toes. What I usually do is mail the maintainer or herd to which it is assigned, and ask if there are any objections to fixing it. If no objections are raised within a reasonable timeframe (depending on the seriousness of the bug), I would go ahead.
