You don't say what bug, but on mainline people with write access don't
need approval to update texinfo.tex (it's missing from the list of
upstream packages, but the same policy applies as for config.sub and
config.guess, and updates of texinfo.tex haven't caused any problems with
breaking things in the past).  For 3.3 branch it's up to Mark and I expect
that how the bug affects the manuals on the branch would be relevant.  I
presume that the new version successfully builds all the manuals on both
mainline and branch with "make dvi" (you didn't say how the patch was
tested).
