Click the user name in the project page, and then click the big blue Message button. Remember to specify a meaningful subject line (i.e., it should contain the module name).
For the specific module in question, the author is @LeeSmith who’s been active in the forum lately, so there’s a good chance that the author - in this case - will read a post - but it will help to give a link to the specific module.
In the meantime, as long as a @-mention doesn’t trigger an email notification (as it does on - say - GitHub), and there’s project specfic “forum”, I think the best practise is
- Write a direct message (DM) to the module author(s) by clicking the user name and then the big blue Message button.
- If the project mentions some sort of hosting platform - say GitHub or GitLab - use the Issue interface to submit an issue (bug report).
- If there’s no reply within a reasonable amount of time, post a message in the forum, making sure to
- Mentioning the project name in the subject - perhaps in square brackets

- Provide a link to the specific project page
- Post to the Module discussion sub-forum
