release tasks do not appear in ubuntu bug searches

[Kees Cook]

While doing Ubuntu Security bug triage, I discovered a problem with release tasks not appearing in bug searches. For example, these two searches:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&assignee_option=any&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.bug_supervisor=&field.bug_commenter=&field.subscriber=ubuntu-security&field.component-empty-marker=1&field.status_upstream-empty-marker=1&field.omit_dupes.used=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch.used=&field.has_cve.used=&field.tag=&field.tags_combinator=ANY&field.has_no_package.used=
(search for all bugs subscribed to by ubuntu-security with status="In Progress")

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security/?field.searchtext=&orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.importance%3Alist=Critical&field.importance%3Alist=High&field.importance%3Alist=Medium&field.importance%3Alist=Low&field.importance%3Alist=Undecided&assignee_option=any&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.bug_contact=&field.bug_commenter=&field.subscriber=&field.status_upstream-empty-marker=1&field.omit_dupes.used=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch.used=&field.tag=&field.has_cve.used=
(search for all bugs within "ubuntu" subscribed to by ubuntu-security with status="In Progress")

The latter search does not show bug 239894, which has open tasks for Ubuntu releases that are "In Progress".

It is unclear to me if this is a duplicate of either or both of bug 314432 and bug 290125.

Those searches are out of date now, unfortunately.

I've upgraded this to "platform-blocker" since it gets in the way of Security Queue Sponsorship, now that we've merged security processes with the general Ubuntu Sponsorship processes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess

Argh. I'm going to mark this as a dupe of bug 314432, since that's got the best description of the problem. Sorry Kees. I'll add the platform-blocker to that bug instead.
