Some packages do have a reference to bug reporting system, others do not. Where should I report package bugs then? Is there any default bug reporting system for packages which don't have their own? I found https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/ but when I look at the components it seems more like for the R core. I also tried <code>bug.report(package = "runjags")</code>, but it tried to start mail program which is not very useful.

If in doubt, send an email to the package maintainer. <pre class="prettyprint"><code>packageDescription("thepackagename", fields = "Maintainer") </code></pre> (This is what <code>bug.report</code> does.)
