it was not intended "as a ruse" to get someone to review the patch. Maybe as a "ruse" to get someone to maintain the code but really i was just trying to write it a bit funny in hope that this would more likely get a positive reaction from someone ... the code really needs someone to maintain it. > > I can vouch that the patch works at my end, and if that's not enough, it ill apply it then after annother look, but i too do not have very deep knowledge of vf_vidstabtransform. > will still need to be tested/reviewed by someone else. > > I can propose myself as a maintainer for docs if you are amenable. Which docs do you want to maintain ? I think for anything thats unmaintained, a maintainer would be welcome Thanks [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB "I am not trying to be anyone's saviour, I'm trying to think about the future and not be sad" - Elon Musk
