This seems a prime example of Linus being a pretty awesome maintainer. Blunt, but really just honest on messaging.

Or was I supposed to read this differently?

If he's not convinced he shouldn't have pulled imho. Reply like this before pulling and see what they reply

That would make sense on a new maintainer. Source of these is a well trusted dev.

I don't know, as I am an outsider, but messaging like this is as important for the crowd as it is for the directly involved.
