Hi. Apologies for the delay; I needed some time so that I could be sure my reply was levelheaded. As frustrating as I'm sure this has been for you, it has been no less for me. Yes, I'm still interested in joining the team. The most important thing to me here is that mplayer be available in debian and that there be support behind it. Toward that end, I believe I can contribute. Regarding process, I have a couple grievances I want to air. 1. I did *not* know that anything was being worked on, and I apologize for the duplicate effort. I tried (several times, actually) to contact you, and I received no reply either on IRC (which is how you contacted me) or to my mail to the list (which is what your wiki says I'm supposed to do to join the team). Therefore, I assumed that there was no work being done, since you had offered cooperation. It saddens me that the default response is to declare me hostile rather than out of the loop. 2. Further, there has been an RFE/ITP bug open for mplayer+mencoder since date -d 'Fri, 03 Oct 2014 01:08:23 +0200'. It is number 763826. This is my first attempt at maintaining a package and I am not overly familiar with the process, but my understanding is that the workflow goes RFE->ITP->package upload, in rough terms. I announced intent to package (and set bug status as such) on date -d 'Wed, 12 Nov 2014 16:58:51 -0500'. It has not changed since. Again, I am new, but it is VERY surprising to me that one could expect to upload a package without owning the ITP. It is especially irritating for this to be dubbed a hijack, as to me it feels the opposite. All that being said: yes, I'm still interested in seeing this through. --Robbie
