I recently reported a security issue to a quite popular open source project (which has at least some company support). The fix is ready but because of coordinating other security fixes into one big release it is - after almost 2 month - still not released. I wonder if this is normal? What else can you do? Full disclosure?

It is normal, but not desirable. You should feel free to exercise full disclosure if the vendor is not being responsible.

> [W]ithout the threat of full disclosure, responsible disclosure would not work, and vendors would go back to ignoring security vulnerabilities.

What is your goal?
