It is included in Ubuntu, so please switch and use Ubuntu.

This bug report is specific to Ubuntu distribution, and the grub that
ubuntu ships, with ubuntu patches. And it is not appropriate to enquire
about upstream grub development.

Grub upstream development is at https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/ you will
find mailing lists there that can help you with upstream grub sources.

For example, did you try building grub form upstream git master?

Please join grub upstream mailing lists to enquire about upstream grub
development or upstream support further.

Regards,

Dimitri.
