This was kind of my experience with reporting a bug to Google as well. Some years ago I managed to upload a SWF file to "google.com" which allowed me to do an XSS and access anyone's gmail, contacts, etc. I reported it and they just initially never responded and I had to constantly follow up. It was seemingly a simple bug to fix but it took them a couple months and they eventually only paid $500. Being able to exfiltrate data out of someone's gmail account always seemed high priority to me but I guess not lol.
