Ah, sorry, I think I misunderstood - you are literally asking if the presence of a severity "serious" bug in Grub should have prevented the whole 11.5 point release happening? I don't know. The only documentation I can find on the matter is about full Debian releases and even that says the bugs would have to be apmrked "release-critical" (RC) to block release, so not even "critical" may have postponed things. My gut feeling is that there's going to be quite a lot of "serious"-level bugs in any point release and that no one works to associate these with a recent upload and then prevent that going into a new point release. It still feels more useful to focus on how such problems can be avoided in future. I don't think we can explore the release team looking at every "serious" bug in every package otherwise they'd never get a point release out.
