Several
- We aren't about to release an official kernel right now afaik,
there are bugs left to sort out first
- Anyone can apply the patch themselves
- Anyone can go and get a vendor kernel
- Anyone can go and release their own 2.4.20.1 or 2.4.20-sec or
whatever if they feel strongly about it

Just go do it. If someone wants to be a contact point for build existing
base kernels + published security fix trees I'm pretty sure kernel.org
would host them too.
