The question now becomes “why does the post title of a Question post default to the title of the blog?”
Update: because, of course, I hadn’t updated the theme correctly to incorporate Question (actually called Answer) posts. Oh well.

To organize all of the new Reply, Ask, and Submit options we’re building, we just added this “Community” menu to the Customize page.
You’ll see a new option to “Allow replies from people following you for more than two weeks.”
Enabling replies for blogs other than your primary one is almost finished!
A typically Tumblrish implementation of this hot new thing called “blog comments”.

Tumblr’s just pulled out a bunch of improvements to the way it handles theme customisation. Relies a lot on HTML meta tags to supply default CSS rules that the inline CSS block can be called on to override.
Not sure I like the mixing of styling and presentation that you have to do for a user-customisable theme. Natively parsing a separate CSS file with theme variables within that file seems like a more organised approach to me.
Seriously. New Tumblr is amazing.
