No worries, you're not doing wrong for asking.

You're pretty much right. You can imagine it as if there is the releases or
versions, (5.27.1, 5.27.2...... etc.) and those are a combined effort to fix
bugs, add features or clean up the code and so on. What goes into these
versions is dependent on what's relevant at that time, it's just a continuous
development process in which a lot of people and the community in general are
involved.

A fix for this bug has been developed and proposed as an addition to the next
possible version. When that will be, I actually don't know myself. Someone has
to approve the request first to make sure it's nothing malicious, has proper
code style, quality and so on.

One thing you could do, if you want to use the fix earlier than officially
released, is build it yourself (from the branch the merge request, that I
linked, resides on) after making sure it's nothing malicious. That's why open
source is so helpful.
