I'm a bit surprised there hasn't been a short story/novel/comic about this yet, but it's possible that Karen Travis' novel (the GoO parallel) will answer it.
I don't see why since it is a minor "hole" and the events are post halo 3.
Ghosts of Onyx takes place between Halo 2 and 3, and the upcoming novel isn't a direct sequel, so it's quite possible that something taking place along the same time frame could be about Johnson/Miranda. Since Blue Team/Halsey and MC's exploits have already been covered by a novel and comics respectively, I think this is really the only thing left to do (other than Grey Team, possibly), and it would be interesting to really go into the details of the truce between the Sangheili and humanity.
I haven't read any of Travis's works, but as I understand from what others have said here, she's gone as far as to craft things like extensive vocabularies of alien languages in past works. Seems like this sort of suits her. Then again, so far, none of the past authors have been that well suited to writing the books. The novels have consistently failed to deliver from a character development standpoint, but that's just my opinion.
From what I've heard Karen Travis pretty much single-handedly developed the most important aspects of the Mandalorians in Star Wars and was the one most responsible for shaping them into the guys we all know and love today. And she wrote the Halo short story Human Weakness, which I have heard very good things about, so yeah, I trust her abilities as a writer.
