Sorry about this. As you can see from the tag changes, the bug was imported to
JIRA on Oct 29[1], but then it seems to have gotten "lost" in the backlog.

Probably because it was still 6 months away from being urgent, it eventually
ended up in the middle of the queue, and we were also focused on the grub and
shim security updates for the second BootHole round,so we might have lost
track of other bootloader bugs a bit.

Thank you for doing everything you did to get this to our attention
again, I appreciate that. I'll go see if we can improve our processes
to reduce the chance of this happening again.
