But, I am not able to understand the seriousness of this bug, is it a very notorious bug or a small one, which even if it existed woulld not hamper operation of the device. I want to use NUT OS but after this bug issues I doubt whether I can use it.

There are many ways of looking at the issue. At present I am still a bit of a 
spectator.

Personally, I regard the process prior to now as being the very strength of the 
system.

A bunch of smart tenacious people have beaten the issue to death & the system is 
more robust as a result.  There is an enormous amount of very useful IP 
encapsulated in the project.  Having looked around at many other embedded IP 
projects this is quite an active community with quite a few people who earn 
their keep from using and improving the system. Everyone wins.

My 2 cents, your view may vary considerably.
