Hi, How do I find developer contact details, when I discover a bug in any wrapper?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Mic,
There is no single answer. Note I am answering this from the perspective of the Galaxy server administrator (who likely will get bug reports from their users).
Most of the routes are Tool Shed centric - for example, if you are logged in, the ToolShed itself offers an action "Contact repository owner".
If you know where the tool is on the Tool Shed, e.g. https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/blast_top_hit_species then there ought to be links to the homepage (sometimes used for the tool being wrapped, sometimes for the wrapper itself), and the development repository for the wrapper. Those will likely tell you where to file issues - but many older wrappers do not have these fields which are a relatively new feature.
Perhaps more simply, check the tool's README file which should be present on disk with the wrapper XML, or again this is viewable on the ToolShed - it should also tell you where to file bugs or how to get in touch.
Sometimes the end user tool help within the tool's XML and shown to the user within Galaxy will have a link to the tool's homepage too.

P.S. Often the wrapper developers are on this list.
