It is not that they are bad or anything, they have definitely done fantastic work which I am pretty sure Ronald or wm4 agrees with. It is just that they are not active, and hence do not offer much to the developer decision process today. I think in practice Michael's suggestion is fine as well: inactive but formerly active developers will anyway not take part in these votes, so I don't mind either way. On the other hand, it is also ok to simply not include at the moment, and if a particular person wishes to be included, we can of course include them by e.g a vote. Or put in other words, I don't think we need to go out of the normal "50 commit" or whatever it is for these other cases - other cases can be included pretty easily anyway. > > -compn > _______________________________________________ > ffmpeg-devel mailing list > ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org > http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
