Hello, we are a research team working on Golang. During our investigation, we found CVE-2020-10675 was addressed in commit 91ac968. However, we noticed that the patch version was released after long time (49 days). We are curious about the reasons behind the delayed release of the patch version, as it may hinder the efficient distribution of patches to downstream users. Could the reason be

1.Issues with testing and CI checking.

2.Other commits have to be incorporated into one release.

3.By convention, versions are not frequently released.

4.Other reasons.

Thank you for your attention, and we look forward to receiving your reply.
