Per the Stable Release Updates policy it is a general rule that the bug be fixed in the development release of Ubuntu before releasing it as an SRU. So that's why sil2100 and raof have both asked about the status of this for impish. Adding information about the plan for impish to the bug description might have avoided some of these questions.

[Bug 1925822] Re: [21.04 regression] formatting vfat times out
Hello Martin, or anyone else affected,
Accepted udisks2 into hirsute-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/2.9.2-1ubuntu1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.
If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for
you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed-hirsute. In either case, without details of your
testing we will not be able to proceed.
Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in
advance for helping!
N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

on while testing, make sure than creating, deleting, renaming vfat
partitions from gnome-disks is working.

There is a regression somewhere between udisks, udev, and dosfstools.

Alright, it's an incompatibility issue with dosfstools 4.2, downgrading
to 4.1 fixes the issue.

working
