Dear Michael, The other 4 members of the previous CC (JB, Steven, James, Ronald) would like to make it clear that it was never consulted on this decision. You (Michael) have - after the fact - asked us (the other 4 previous-CC members) to look into Vittorio's emails and Kieran's re-post thereof, which the current CC can pick up from here. If you disagree with their decision, you can ask the GA to re-evaluate.
We (the other 4 previous-CC members) recommend that - until a decision has been rendered - Vittorio's git commit access gets reinstated and the deleted email gets restored into the archives. The mailinglist ban(s) for Vittorio has already been revoked. Thanks, Ronald (OK'ed by James, Jean-Baptiste and Steven) On Wed, Dec 25, 2024 at 8:31 AM Michael Niedermayer <mich...@niedermayer.cc> wrote: > Hi Community, Community Commitee, Moderators > > The message: lists.ffmpeg.org pipermail > ffmpeg-devel/2024-December/337868.html > Is unacceptable.
