Everyone on discord channel of gumdrop are confused and puzzled for lack of information.
7 days to go and no assurance if will come out. Anyone knows how to contact patreon? Somebody should stop this scam.
Sure. But there are only two ways this is going to stop:
1. Gumdrop decides to close his patreon page.
2. People stop supporting him.
The former didn't happen for over two years, Kyle loves his free money, why should he cut it off?
The latter didn't happen for over two years.

There was a glimmer of hope this year when he started shedding patrons, but he never even reached his historic low after the peak. The lowest patron count was a year ago on May 1st, when it dropped to 637. He didn't release anything a year ago to fix this, and yet patron count rebounded. Patron numbers started dropping off earlier this year before he announced the most recent release date. Patron count still rebounded from the low of 688 on April 1st.
What can I say? His patrons are dumb.
Gumdrop was reported to Patreon this year. No action was taken.
No rape scenes in the game anymore:

Incest is no longer present, either. The game is not called "Dual Family" anymore because it's no longer about incest. Gumdrop's page was suspended on Patreon twice. After that, the game no longer officially features incest (I assume the second suspension was due to the rape scene).
Note how there's a very prominent game which features incest and rape, Summertime Saga, developed by Dark Cookie. It's the most popular adult game by patron count on Patreon by a huge margin. Dark Cookie's page was suspended in the past and he was forced to rewrite large portions of the game, but no action was taken against him since then.
If a person endlessly reports a creator to Patreon, or if a group gangs up and does a series of reports, this may be seen as harassment and may result in repercussions not against the creator, but against false whistleblowers. This ultimately may affect other adult game creators if Patreon decides it's too much trouble to carry them.
If you wish to report him, I can only encourage you. Maybe you can write a compelling report that will get Gumdrop banned. Unlikely as it seems, Gumdrop is not breaking any actual Patreon rules. If you do report him, make sure to base it on facts, otherwise Patreon will promptly ignore this. I also think you actually need to be a patron of his for Patreon to take a report seriously.
