Sure. Feel free to do so. I've reported the bug according to
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting which says:
: Don't file bugs upstream
:
: If you file a bug in Debian, don't send a copy to the upstream
: software maintainers yourself, as it is possible that the bug
: exists only in Debian. If necessary, the maintainer of the package
: will forward the bug upstream.

I don't see how this is relevant. This is not about anything
specific that jack_diplomat does, any program that calls
jack_client_open() twice with different server_name (optional
parameter) will experience the bug.
BTW, please let's not play guilt games here. jack_diplomat, even if
it may be unmaintained ATM which I don't know, works well. (And,
AFAIK, there's no requirement for a program to have a web site. ;-)
It's libjack that has the bug, so that's where it should be fixed.
And BTW, the problem and the fix IMHO are rather trivial. All the
patch does it the end is to get rid of a misapplied static buffer.
