Is UW ever going to actually release patches for reported security issues
? or are users of their software stuck having to wait months and months
for a new version to be released that fixes them.

you got it.  they probably won't.  that's the usual operating procedure.
they have before. but releasing patches for specific security issues is
probably more trouble to the Pine-Dev team than just releasing new
versions with multiple fixes.  it's not always months before a new
versions comes out.  if you look at Pine Release Chronology & Version
Changes:

http://www.washington.edu/pine/changes.html

you'd see that 3 releases occurred in one month.
