That only happens if the team has the time to get the fix into the code, tested, validated, regressed, and deployed. I would say this is a classic example of “ego” to publish overruling established principles.

The University of Twente should explore requiring classes for responsible disclosure.

NCSC, it seems you threw out your own policy:

"The NCSC will try to resolve the security problem that you have reported in a system within 60 days. Once the problem has been resolved, we will decide in consultation whether and how details will be published.”

I would have expected you to council the researchers on responsible disclosure principles.
