Address me as I sign my email and no other way; that's why it's there.

How to I know? From what I've read this potential bug affects very 
little of how ffmpeg actually operates; if it had, it's likely that the 
regression tests (aka FATE) would have shown many errors. This opinion 
come from a few decades of software engineering, both development and 
testing.

Then demonstrate it (by providing other seemingly unrelated tests cases 
that all fail and can be traced to the single error).

Or assume that the developers know better than we do and accept whatever 
priority they set. And maybe also assume a less confrontational 
attitude, telling someone that they're "Wrong" at best sends an impolite 
message.
