HackerOne also at least strongly discourages publishing your findings if the developers refuse to take action.

https://www.hackerone.com/disclosure-guidelines states that "After the Report has been closed, Public disclosure may be requested by either the Finder or the Security Team." - so if the report just doesn't get closed, you can't disclose through the platform, and https://www.hackerone.com/policies/code-of-conduct says "Disclosing report information without previous authorization is not permitted."

To me, that seems that you're not permitted to disclose the issue at all until the report has been closed and either 1) 30 days have passed and the security team hasn't requested an extension, or 2) "180 days have elapsed with the Security Team being unable or unwilling to provide a vulnerability disclosure timeline".

Due to this, I refuse to report through HackerOne.
