General question about GStreamer plugin packages

Dear Sebastian,

I am curious! ;)

I have seen that with the latest releases of the GStreamer plugins 
packages, the twolame plugin has been moved from the "bad" plugin set 
to the "ugly" plugin set.

I'd like to know what was the cause of this move. Is it comparable to 
the way packages are treated in Debian's archive, where they have to 
prove for a while in unstable (= bad) before they may advance to 
testing (=u gly)? Or is manual intervention by a maintainer necessary?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Fabian
