Not sure who you call "Ubuntu people", those who comments on that bug are as much "Ubuntu people" that anyone, speaking as the person who look at nautilus usually I don't own a mtp device to look at this issue, that also seems rather a gvfs or libmtp issue rather than a nautilus.
Short summary: help to resolve the issue is welcome, upstream would be a good place to report the issue, Ubuntu is mostly distributing software and has limited resources, the code writers are probably better place to have an idea about this
