I've replied on the bug, but to clarify here:

This is a feature request; it discusses the addition of new
functionality to a Long Term Support release of Ubuntu. Generally,
features are not added in stable release updates.

You might be able to construe "SAMBA does not support password
lockouts" as a security hardening mechanism, but I think it would be a
stretch to fit it under the definition of "Bugs which may, under
realistic circumstances, directly cause a security vulnerability.".
The Security Team (CCed) would make the final decision on that,
however.
