The commit message is indirectly accusing an unindentified person of trying to usurp your position as a release maintainer. The accusation is aggressive, and the fact that it is indirect makes it passive aggressive. Not providing any specifics beyond "someone said that someone said" makes it gossip. Each of those factors in isolation IMO makes this text inappropriate for a commit message. > But how would you word it instead ? I would not word it at all, as there is no evidence that this needs clarifying. Gossip is not evidence. > The example git commands simply show the authors and commiters on the release > branch > since the first release on it.

Nobody is disputing your role as a release maintainer. -- 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".
