I reported either on Ubuntu's tracker, or the uutils GitHub, unless they'd already been reported.
The chown bug took 18 months to be fixed. The ls bug isn't fixed after 6 months. Sort was fixed in about 3 months.
There are hundreds of open bugs: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues — the project clearly wasn't suitable for an LTS release.
GNU Coreutils also has hundreds of open bugs:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=coreutils
It's normal to find hundreds of open bugs in large open source projects
