I don't see his rant against the gnome settings as
a support issue or general usage.
By the way, I agree with him about the fact gnome settings
are as stupid as the windows registry, and not user friendly
at all.
And what useful contribution should this be to this list?
I think it gives an indication on which packages should be used as
default for Debian GNU/*. And I think that the Debian
preferred/recommended packages has a very large impact on upstream
developers. Of course specific UI usage issues, should not be discussed
on Debian lists. Nevertheless, Debian has a large share of the number of
users[1] out there.

Yes, these bastards using the software and reporting bugs and proposing
patches, not developing it or maintaining it ;).
