some libavfilter filters may be difficult to maintain currently (thats because of pauls fork and paul working on libavfilter) So if you want to try, you can, but there likely will be problems that would not occur in other parts of teh codebase. if you want to try, some suggestions on what you could do * setup a clone of ffmpeg (on github or elsewhere) unless you already have one * set a branch up there with your changes, make sure requested modifications have been done * once you are happy with the code and everyone else had a chance to review it and noone had remaining complaints and the latest patches are on ffmpeg-devel with noone complaining, -> simply ask me to apply the patches, ill then wait another 24h and if noone complains apply them * if this works for a few iterations then you should send a patch that adds you to MAINTAINERS * Now the extra problem, if you want a challence. As Paul also works on it. As maintainer, you should look at pauls work and bring it to ffmpeg. This has several complexities beyond what you might expect. First obvious, the authorship of all commits needs to be correct Second, paul has changed the license in COPYING to GPLv2 but not in the file header of af_volumedetect.c So before any work from pauls fork can be included, this contradition needs to be understood / resolved. You could start a discussion about this here or with paul ... And obviously once this is clarified, any included code from paul must comply to the license. Which could also mean that no changes from him to af_volumedetect can be included.
