I don't understand, isn't this an argument in favor of GitHub? Most mailing lists (including, notably, FFmpeg's) require registration in order to submit messages, which is one of the reasons I hate them. It's not just that registration is annoying in general, it's also that registration to a mailing list is *more* annoying and cumbersome than creating an account on any post-90s website. Conversely on GitHub, everybody already has an account, so the overhead for first-time contribution is *actually* zero. And on every other self-hosted GitLab instance I've come across, I could cross-authenticate with some other account I already have. _______________________________________________ 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".
