Code of conduct
When using the Debian mailing lists, please follow these rules:
* The mailing lists exist to foster the development and use of Debian
...
* Make sure that you are using the proper list.

Exactly! 29,000 OT questions? Please be sensible!
Why do think there is:
https://lists.ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user/
http://www.mutt.org/mail-lists.html
etc ... etc ... etc ...

Well use your common sense. If it looks like the problem is Debian
related, i.e. the way the program interacts with Debian -- then sure, It
is fine and very relevant to this list.
If it looks like a problem with the usage of the actual program, then
the user is better posting his/her question on the actual support list.
Why?
* That is where the developers and users "hang out".
* Therefore you are more likely to find someone who can help.
* The question, itself, can help quide the development:
1) Is the documentation adequate?
2) Is there a bug in the program?
* Allows the "site:" search term to be more informative.
* Probably other reasons which don't immediately come to me.

Au contraire, it is perfectly sensible.

That is indeed unfortunate. :( Hopefully, you can now?
