When I joined or how many posts I have is completely irrelevant.
I'm not demanding he drop everything. There was a bug report, it'd be nice if instead of ignoring the messengers that it gets addressed properly. If he needs the time to do it by all means take it, just don't trivialize it, let those who may be affected, know and give steps to mitigate until fixed.

Perfectly workable and acceptable (at least from my point of view) and has already been suggested in the bug thread.
