Another recent thread relating to d-m.o: Andres Mejia, Mar 5 2012: Fwd: Re: Unofficial repositories on 'debian' domains [4] Reinhard Tartler Mar 5 2012 (interesting): Unofficial repositories on 'debian' domains [5] Logic question: why is debian-multimedia.org considered a Debian domain when it's not under a *.debian.org DNS name, but yet something *.debian.net is not considered part of Debian? Is anything "*[debian]*.org" of issue?

Christian gets frustrated when his bug report is lowered in severity after 4 weeks with no explanation, S.Z. makes an insinuation of a problem between Christian and ffmpeg maintainers. There are several ways to read between the lines there. Thankfully even though the social outcome is somewhat negative, the bug has a positive technical outcome.
