See the "remote bug watches" on the right here. It links to gnome-bugs #637095 <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637095> , which is FIXED.

Given that this bug can trash SSDs on hardware level, by making so many writes that the lifespan is considerably reduced, by doing billions of write calls in a matter of hours, I'm asking for a hotfix in Ubuntu 12.04 precise.

Given that SSDs are silent, a user wouldn't even notice this unless he has a CPU or disk meter or similar showing. I do, but I still missed this once and it ran for 10 hours overnight IIRC.

How can we escalate this for a hotfix in a stable distro? I don't know launchpad well enough. Could somebody please make some noise? There's already a straight-forward fix, and commited to the GNOME repo, it's just a matter of shipping it for the stable Ubuntu distros.
