For what it is worth, you have my full support on this, and sympathy for the harassment you have been subjected to. I slowly realized democracy on a project such as FFmpeg is a path towards immobilism and irrelevance. And in our case, it is worsened because some people have borrowed their definition from Erdoğan, “like a tram, you ride it until you arrive at your destination, then you step off”.
