Quick issues are usually solved in the chat room
irc: freenode.net.
#phpwebsite

Greater issues are posted to the developer's list. Usually these require

The core developers work for Appalachian State University. Although we
steer the ship we usually communicate with other module developers and
those in the know about web technology for guidance.

Come to the chat room and speak with Mike (mhnoyes) or Adam (atom_). They
can tell you about phpwebsite-comm. It can help you get started.
