How to track when an update will be available via apt
I am on cosmic and waiting for a bugfix that is part of clang 7.0.1. I know of launchpad.net, which shows me that it is available for disco.
Using a PPA is not a good solution in my case.
How can I track if and when that package might be available for cosmic? Where would this be discussed?
While an answer with a date for this package would be appreciated, I am more interested in a general answer on how to find this out myself.

That package will never be officially available for cosmic. If a bugfix is released for cosmic, it will be as an update to the1:7-3
package in cosmic. Is there a bug report against the cosmic version? If yes, please provide a link. If not, file one.

Just to make sure I understand you correctly: Would I open a bug report on launchpad explaining how clang 7.0.0 is broken, that clang 7.0.1 fixes it, and ask for the cosmic package to be updated?
