if i have some setools problems(maybe bugs) in future, where can i send?

i can not find "subscribe" of setools mailing list, but i find the 
"Active Tickets" in setools wiki. actually, i don't know what this mean.
i find there are bug and feature.

if the setools mailing list is private, i will send problem/bug to the
fedora-selinux mailing list in future, ok?
