Hi,
Is there some official way how to become release maintainer?
Expecially creating new releases once in a while.
I'm not happy with current release management in FFmpeg.
Yes, release intervals look to be erratic. What would help is a
suggested schedule, something like
master nb_commits % 1500 == 0.
Commit amount means nothing. You could get a whole new decoder in one,
or a fix for a single issue split across seven.
Across a small number of commits, yes, this would have an impact. Once
you go large, the number of consolidated/piecemeal commits has to even out.
And if you make the cut as strict as you suggest, you'll surely get
broken releases.
My suggestion is for a marker, not an exact cut point, which would be
pragmatically decided by the release maintainer to avoid partial
patchsets or security fixes.
