But I do not think FFmpeg is big enough to require this kind of scalability yet. On the other hand, an authority is still needed above the maintainers to arbiter when they disagree with each other or when a change affects multiple areas or not a specific one. That authority cannot be democratic, unless we want FFmpeg to continue to devolve into a corporate cash cow without a shred of creativity. That authority should be you. You had it and you made an excellent job of it. You just need to accept that it is not possible to please, and to realize that the people who do not take it with grace are precisely the people who have been bullying you, and have as such lost their moral rights to be listened to. Focus on the people you enjoyed hacking together with who respect your leadership.
