Implying that a funding.json was pushed without consent is unacceptable

The patch was on the mailing list,
Do 19 Jun 2025 21:12:23 CEST Michael Niedermayer <michael@niedermayer.cc> [FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Add FUNDING.json

The General Assembly was informed about the potential donation from
the etherum foundation, that needed this FUNDING.json file
Mo 09 Jun 2025 21:30:27 CEST Michael Niedermayer <michael@niedermayer.cc> Donation from the etherium foundation

Normally this would call for a private one on one discussion but as you
make these statments in public, it requires a public response.

What you do here is damaging to the FFmpeg project. Including a potential
loss of sponsors. And also very damaging to the Team.

This comes after, you yourself already stated that you would limit yourself
to code and reviews: https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2024-November/336263.html
"The only mails you'll see from me in the future are code or reviews. I
 am sure certain community members will appreciate that."

And id like to emphasize, even IF something wrong happened with funding.json
thats a matter to be discussed and resolved privatly.
First with the involved parties, and if that fails with the GA.
None of that happened

Posting such claims in public is damaging to the project and team.
And is completely unacceptable

thx

Its not that you shouldnt use gotos but rather that you should write
readable code and code with gotos often but not always is less readable
