But who's duty is to resolve the issue?

It's clearly not an issue of Lua as a language. It's just a consequence 
of (a very popular) LuaBinaries once releasing lua5.1.dll that became a 
de facto binary standard, then authors of many third-party Lua libraries 
were releasing binary packages compatible with LuaBinaries.

Note: I'm not blaming LuaBinaries; that was just one unfortunate 
decision that is difficult to be undone.
