FWIW, I find the fact above completely unrelated to the discussion at
hand. In fact, I did wonder why you mailed me and press@d.o, but I've
been nevertheless happy to provide you with some pointers to related
work, of which I was aware due to my research activity.
But you did contact us making it very clear that the content was meant
to appear on your *personal* blog. Therefore, neither me nor the press
team (AFAIK) bother discussing --- or even thinking about --- the
appropriateness of the content on more official Debian media.
I'm not sure if your text mail was meant to imply otherwise. But I'm
sure my answer would've been radically different if you had asked
something along the lines of "what do you think of publishing this as a
Debian Project announcement?".
Cheers.
