Indeed.  And there's no need to split that discussion into 2 mailing
lists.  Those who are relevant to making the decision about the fix
read the bug list anyway.

Two comments (1) please wait for at least a few days before deciding
that the matter stalled and needs to be expedited, let alone in
another list; and (2) I personally didn't get the impression that the
proposed fix is final and/or agreed upon, due to the issue with the
version of gpg.

Meanwhile, you have the patch, and can apply it locally if it's urgent
for you.
