No, that's how I read it too.

I also thought it was pretty classy of Cloudflare to not mention the responder's name in the blog post, or link directly to the reply. I probably would not have been so kind.

On reading that quotation I assumed it was from some peanut-gallery forum participant like myself, rather than from one of the maintainers.

It was said that the person replying has zero commits. (Typing on my phone, so I did not run git log --author to verify) Which brings us to the next problem. When you post as a newcomer to some list that something must be not as it should, you don't get qualified replies, even if have done a lot of homework before posting. Just happened to me on another list these days. Of course I know, nobody is paid for replying on mailing lists.

Agreed.
However, the person replying is the author/maintainer of the cryptsetup FAQ.
