"Not a big deal" is a colloquial expression.  The text books that we
learn English from doesn't teach us what this expression means.  When
this is the case, we need to rely on our subjective judgement to
decide what particular turn of phrase means.  It is also a common
experience that a phrase that is polite in a conversation is deemed
otherwise in other cultures.

When talking across cultures, it is generally considered a good
practice to err on the conservative side.  It wouldn't have been a big
deal if the bug was just labelled as Minor.
