It's pretty common that the outcome is explicitly not communicated to
the complainants, since it's actually none of their business. They
should receive a «we have received your complaint» message, though.

I disagree that this is a good outcome.

I think we as a project managed to project quite clearly during the
session that we didn't think it was ok to be abrasive and that we
considered his style problematic (to put it mildly). I think declaring
him persona non grata instead of enganging as we did would not be
helpful.
Debian used to have a reputation for somewhere you'd only go if you did
have thick skin and enjoyed flame wars. We've changed the reality
around that a fair bit and I believe the reputation is changing too. I
find it quite uplifting that we're now engaging other projects where we
see what we consider substandard behaviour.
While we did invite him, I don't think that anyone actually thinks that
Linus is speaking on behalf of Debian and so we should not apologise to
the FSF for Linus' words, be they true or not.
