OK, you state it's a massive bug breaking desktops. Is this really true?
Is it a security issue? Are you not able to use the desktop because of
this bug?

IMHO it's just a minor issue causing an annoying graphics design. I even
would never have taken notice of the bug on my system if not a forum
user of https://ubuntuusers.de/ asked for help there. How many users do
experience this bug?

OK, packages in universe repo should be free of critical bugs. But as we
all know, bugs are phenomena in software engineering, that can occur due
to human nature of programmers. Nobody's perfect thus no human work is
ever perfect. I'm very sure there are good reasons for the delay.

My guess is simply there's not enough manpower in regard to the severity
of the mutter bug. Software engineering is a very time consuming task
and good code doesn't come from heaven.

If you are skilled enough to contribute code, why don't you help but
instead complain?

Best regards,

Stefan
