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.

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?
