For Debian, the maintainers are listed at
<https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/zsh>.  There's a mailing list, so you
can just email that.  In general, Debian tends to like things being
organized around bug reports, but filing a bug without reportbug(1)
isn't the most user-friendly workflow in the world, so I'll gloss over
it for now.

Other distros generally have browsable package indexes that list the
current version and maintainer of each package.  There's also 
https://repology.org/project/zsh/versions which lists information from
multiple distros.

Cheers,

Daniel
