And even if the Fedora Thunderbird maintainer decides to push a patched package to F-12, there's no way it should be pushed directly to stable.
Why not, if it contains an important fix?
Because if we don't test the updated package we don't know:
a) does it actually fix the bug? b) does it break anything else?
Just because an update 'contains an important fix' doesn't mean it's fine to release it without testing.
However, I certainly agree this should be fixed ASAP, and saying 'well it doesn't crash for EVERYONE' and 'upstream should fix it instead' are pretty weak excuses.
