I'm no Kitware employee but so far I think that at least
for FindBoost.cmake (or other maintained Find modules)
the bugs should be handled directly by its maintainer:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Module_Maintainers

May be it's worth asking Andreas if it is currently
the way it works.

Trying to ask the maintainer for its support would relieve
the pressure on Kitware which seems to get higher and higher
with the gorwing usage of CMake.

I think it may not scale well if "only" handled by Kitware.
