How come there is no link anywhere on debian.org pointing to

I looked and looked but didn't find. Even when searching for
"multimedia" on debian.org, it does not mention debian-multimedia.org at
all. Not even when searching for "debian-multimedia". Every new debian
user trying to verify the credibilitiy of debian-multimedia.org would
have given up at this point for sure.
Google is pretty darned ubiquitous, and has been for 8+ years.
Putting "Debian play" in the FF/IW search bar auto-completes "debian
play encrypted dvd", and each of the first 5 links mentions d-mm.o.
With the information that Marillat is a Debian developer (and the
precise spelling of his name) I was actually able to go to the
developer's page on debian org, find him, and see a link to d-m. So in a
very roundabout way, d-m is actually endorsed by debian.org.
"Mentioned" does *not* mean "endorsed". Never has, never will.
But how
would anybody find out about this in a reasonable amount of time?
d-mm.o is not an official Debian site, so it's nor mentioned
anywhere except his personal page and the list archives.
