There was another issue for this that probably shouldn't have been closed: https://github.com/fwupd/missing-firmware-lenovo-thinkpad/issues/25

Aside:

How does getting firmware images added to LVFS actually work? Does somebody at Lenovo have to do it, or is this something that users can help with? The fwupd.org login page seems to suggest that this is really meant to be done by the hardware vendors. If that's the case, are these issues just for tracking? Is there anything that the concerned public can help with?

Please post message to this thread. I already did it 3 times (1, 2, 3), but got generic answers:

I don't have permission to share the planned date. No ETA, sorry.
