I find the demand to test the fix within 5 days, combined with the
threat of dropping the patch otherwise, unreasonable.

In my original report of this security problem I have already provided a
script that allows to reproduce the problem and check if it still
exists.

Requiring an answer within 5 days is too short, after all people can be
on holiday or just busy for other reasons.

And even if I as the original submitter wouldn't respond at all, this is
a real security problem in Ubuntu that was already confirmed. Are you
really going to drop the patch and let CVE-2018-6559 stay unfixed
forever?

Maybe I will find the time to test it on Bionic, but I will certainly
not install a different version of Ubuntu than the one I am currently
running.

I hope that this is all just a misunderstanding and the message does not
apply to security problems. In this case please consider changing the
message or improving the process such that this confusion will be
avoided for future reports.
