If there is nothing in the bug report database, it may indeed mean that
nobody is working on it. In this case, you may want to ask on -hackers,
or -developers if someone could take a look at it.
There is often a disconnect between the people who are knowledgeable
about the code in question, and the bug report database. At times, the
people who know what the code does and what the answer is aren't aware
of the PR report, so bringing it up again is a way to get their attention.
In fact, PR 28418 (which I assume you're talking about) contains a very
nice summary of the problem, down to identifying exactly what part of
the code is failing (although not why).

P.S.: Just by looking at the this particular PR, my guess is that either
the code has a bug, or the board's BIOS is lying about what it
supports, causing a crash. Try turning off MTRR support in your BIOS.
