Unfortunately the ed maintainer has not been responsive to my emails.
But it has not been long enough yet to draw conclusions.  Therefore I
do not know if he is still active or if he has orphaned the project.I
will keep a reminder to keep looking for him.

I think that posting bugs here is at this moment the best that you can
do.  If you dig into the code and make a fix please send patches back
here too.
