When I click on the "Bug Reports" link on the dblatex package page https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/dblatex/ no bugs come up. How can I/we add this bug to that?

Maintainer, here is my slightly modified PKGBUILD to fix this bug: https://gist.github.com/bulletmark/f602d1ab196d816767e8ba6d4c7859d3.

Yes, the bug was fixed by you with the update of dblatex 0.3.9-1 -> 0.3.9-2 on 11-Nov, specifically with the addition of drop-multirow-dependency.patch.
