I am against removing this paragraph.

2. Instead of /removing/ that paragraph, are you also against replacing it
with the same paragraph but centred on the ffmpeg-devel list? The patch has
the following alternative:
+@section Documentation/Other
+@subheading Subscribe to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list.
+It is important to be subscribed to the
+@uref{https://lists.ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel, ffmpeg-devel}
+mailing list, because any patch you contribute must be sent there
+and reviewed by the other developers. They may have comments about your
+contribution. We expect you see those comments, and to improve your
contribution
+if requested.
+Also, this list is where bugs and possible improvements or
+general questions regarding commits are discussed. That may be helpful
+information as you write your contribution. Finally, by being a list
+subscriber your contribution will be posted immediately to the list,
+without the moderation hold which messages from non-subscribers experience.
Sorry, I do not understand this paragraph / question.
If the alternative may lead to another answer than above, please consider
sending a complete patch.
Carl Eugen:
I believe I sent a complete patch.
Part of what that patch does is replace a section
"@subheading Subscribe to the ffmpeg-cvslog mailing list."
with a similar section
"@subheading Subscribe to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list."
Git put the delete lines first, then the replacement lines. See the
lines labelled, "@@ -381,12 +379,19 @@". Do you see that part of the patch?
Also,

I didn't see you answer my question 1, "Do you expect all contributors
to ffmpeg to subscribe to the ffmpeg-cvslog email list //in addition
to// the ffmpeg-devel list?" I think that question is relevant to
deciding how to handle this @subheading section.
Thank you, Carl Eugen
