I do not see your attachment on news.gmane.io as well, but it is a rare
problem. Mostly attachments are received correctly. Moreover, a part of
your message is truncated. I am unsure whether there is some limit for
message size or parser was confused by excessive white spaces (unsure
whether the message was fully conformant). Anyway, size of "current
state" part tells that it is unlikely *minimal* example that you tested
with "emacs -Q". Even the part received by gmane has size of almost 300k.

Attachment is available on
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87a6j02qf0.fsf@mat.ucm.es/
so I do not see any problem. Likely nobody explicitly confirmed your
bug, so it did not appear on https://updates.orgmode.org/ On the other
hand, a patch appeared quickly enough, so reasons to complain are
unclear for me.

I am unsure to which list you are going to send a copy. Emacs-orgmode is
hosted on gnu.org just as other emacs lists. Besides lists.gnu.org it is
archived on public inbox instances and these archives were able to parse
your message. For issues filed through debbugs.gnu.org latency is often
higher that for ones sent directly to this list.
Are there evidences that it was not a rare case when an attachments from
a messages generated by org-submit-bug-report was lost by gmane and
change of workflow is really required?
