[GUIDE] Ubuntu repository - maintained by djcj

Shouldn't a good ffmpeg build make most of the other tools obsolete anyway? (i.e. why use x264 CLI if ffmpeg was built with libx264 support)

yes, but
a. building ffmpeg with all the tools up-to-date is a pain, since some of them often break ffmpeg
b. ffmpegs often does not support the newest option right after they got added
c. ffmpegs documentation often is a pain (especially for newer stuff)
d. reporting bugs to the authors of the tools directly often gets things (often; not counting tools from google) a lot faster fixed then reporting it to the ffmpeg team
e. I like to keep it as flexible as possible
f. there are already GUIs out there for ffmpeg (or handbrake)
Keeping tools separated also allows users to use modded x264/x265 builds which anime folks often use.

Why did he move over there?

No clue, totally forgot and overlooked that the repository changed quite a while ago.

I think you should update some of the links in your "License and Dependencies" section.

Yeah, I known, I kind of wanted to do that for quite some time,..
