Why bother doing anything? If this is a crack that's coming from a flaw in the part, the durned thing's probably going to continue cracking and you can order a new one when it breaks. If it's not, it'll probably stay the way it is now.
A solid repair would involve silver-brazing, which is going to probably require that the repairman remove the part, braze it, then reinstall it, which will most probably result in a blemish in the finish.
