Using the data actually provided, and the context in which it is provided, it is a failure of management to drive the issue toward resolution. Ownership and responsibility were unclear "for days" (or perhaps longer), while even the person responsible for ensuring things move forward was not doing so. At the minimum, "leading instead of participating" would have ensured that there was a clear answer to, "What is the very next step, and who is responsible for taking it?" Several replies want to "what if" this scenario speculatively for some reason instead of engaging with the author's point, which is as fine a demonstration as any of why directionless chatter is a problem that leadership should overcome.

There is nothing to suggest it was issue that this bug was not resolved quickly. It does not sounds like involved people spent whole day every day on it. Instead, there was mail thread and jira or some such discussion where people moved issue forward as they should. This sounds like issue involving multiple teams that have to cooperate in non urgent situation. You want someone "drive this forward" and interrupt people from they usual flow. But that costs and slows down all other tasks. So for that, you would need to have actual urgent situation.
