Hi Michael,

Here is how this should be handled.

"Hi Paul,

I'm sorry for aggressively trying to force SDR into the FFmpeg project
over a period of several weeks in spite of objections from you and the

FFmpeg is now a better community* and we would love it if you could come back.

Regards,
Michael Niedermayer
"

Regards,
Kieran Kunhya
