I have more or less acted as the de-facto maintainer of all that has to do with scheduling in the lavfi framework. I can take over the rest of the work (that would have required, for example, giving more attention to the frame pool patches) if people want. I intended to propose when my work of overhauling the design would have been finished. I will not propose it officially myself right now, especially not as a patch for the MAINTAINERS file, as it would look like escalating the game of core-wars. But if somebody else pushes a corresponding patch I will not object at all. > But id like to ask everyone to NOT escalate this further, iam > sure that nothing good would come out of that. I fully agree. wm4 has threatened to push a patch that I have explicitly and unambiguously rejected. Furthermore, Muhammad, the original author of this patch, has approved an alternate solution for fixing the same issue. Under these circumstances, pushing the patch would be a deliberate act of escalation. Note: I rejected the patch based on the main change it advertises, the change in the function interface. The patch also contains changes making the implementation simpler. These change are very worthy. If Muhammad proposes them separately I will gladly approve and apply; and if not I will eventually do it myself. > as i do > not want to take a side When witnessing a bullying situation, not taking a side amounts to siding with the bully. I will leave the readers decide for themselves if and how that statement applies to the current situation. As for myself, I do not wish to have any further interactions at all with wm4. Starting now, as far as I am concerned, for all intents and purposes, they and their messages no longer exist. I will reconsider my position if I learn they can go for a year without badmouthing the project or mocking or disparaging any of its contributors. Of course, that means that all their proposals on areas of code for which I am responsible are silently rejected. If somebody else sponsors such a change, I will discuss it as if it were their own with all the good-will that I am capable of. If another member of the project considers this stance unacceptable, you can take your responsibilities and kick me out. For reference, I started the day in good spirits at the prospect of having several unencumbered hours to work on framesync. Instead, I have been so upset and disgusted by how this turned out that I was unable to produce a single line of valuable code, be it for FFmpeg or my own projects. And if you think that this is a paltry issue to be upset, remember that the straw that breaks the camel's back does not need to be heavy. That is all I have to say on the matter. If necessary, details would probably better be asked in private. Regards, -- Nicolas George
