Who are these 'others' (plural) you speak of? And why did they think they have the right to unilaterally nominate themselves as community representatives? And - since you apparently announced this against their wishes with only a little time to spare - what did they intend to do with the application instead? Submit it without community approval? And why are you defending them instead of them speaking for themselves? It is quite hard not to see this as someone's attempt to strongarm the project into their preferred course of action. -- Anton Khirnov _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
