I already did:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-crypto-vger&m=145620828015563&w=2

The thread I pointed you to was what I was told by the crypto list:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-crypto-vger&m=145620853015626&w=2

In that thread, the developer was also apparently made aware:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-crypto/msg17931.html

I think bringing it up to the developer and the crypto mailing list again is
unlikely to get this issue addressed, as they are both aware of it.

later,
