At the moment it's unclear if anyone who can do anything about this is even aware of it. On any list of bugs I look at, this one is buried under hundreds of others that are sometimes a decade or more old. I'm not sure how anyone would become aware of it.
Reading about bug handling processes on wiki.ubuntu.com, I found this:
----
In order to set bug statuses to 'Triaged' you need to be a member of the Ubuntu Bug Control team. If you are not a Bug Control member, and you find a bug you believe is ready to be marked as Triaged, then please join the #ubuntu-bugs channel on irc.freenode.net and provide a link to the report. A Bug Control member can then examine the report and, if it is ready, mark it as Triaged for you.
----
If anyone affected is on IRC, perhaps it would be worth going onto that channel and asking if this bug report is ready to be triaged.
