Thanks for making my argument for me. It was also literally caught in (Debian) TESTING.

It does not matter for who he works unless you believe a cooperation owns there employees time and achievements 24/7.

He notices something off, tested it, looked at the source code (impossible on windows ;) and reported the issue he found which got quickly and transparently (also impossible on windows) fixed. Again that is how FOSS should work and why it's superior to proprietary software.
