etiquette of bothering other developers?

| Hi!
I would like to have some instructions on the etiquette of
bothering other developers. I have a major problem
which should be solved by another (group of) developer(s).
I have choosen to send reminder emails in every two weeks.
Is it considered to be a courteous behaviour?
How much reminders to be sent until I take another step?
What should it be? Cry out publicly in debian-devel, and
*-announce (just kidding ? Ask the leader to help resolve
the situation? Ask someone to lobby for me on IRC?
--=20

In any case, getting things documented e.g. by filing a bug should be a
good idea.
If there is a special interest mailing list, that should take preference
over debian-devel (as it gives the thing a more technical touch and
doesn't insist on the social one as much).
Cheers

Unless there is something that prevents it, you could always fix the=20
problem yourself and send them a patch.
That often works and is usually very welcome.
