I really guess this is more than clear already. Or are you spammed by
support requests for the 0.5 release? I rather expect those user to to
report their bugs to the respective distro maintainers that know whom to
contact.

ffmpeg-user@ doesn't seem to get too much spammed by support requests, a
quick grep over the subjects gives me about 30 of postings (including
answers!) with 0.5 in the subject.

I think the dates are really helpful to come to this conclusion, please
leave them in place.
