There's scenario 3: a news site took a mail on a project mailing list, and wrote a misleading article with a clickbaity headline. So far so common.
To their credit, they did include the full text of the mail, and it simply doesn't support the "Mozilla about to stop Thunderbird maintenance" subject this is being titled with. And the title here on HN looks nothing like the title of the actual article either (though that might have been edited later, of course).
