(for those curious, navigate to git master and run: git shortlog -s -n) If you draft language that gives you five times as much voting power as anybody else it does not realistically make it appear as though you are interested in handing over reigns to anybody. - Leo Izen (Traneptora) _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-request@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
