i felt tired but with the more people i speak and the more i find out the
more certain i am that there never where 18 people agreeing to this.

and theres no way one can force a decission by calling 50 people on the phone
and talking them into a yes and then not recording the no votes.

i do not endorse them
I would offer (and did offer) jason my leader title when i would resign.
He is capable to lead ffmpeg but the 7 people on this list are not
just look at the chaos we have now
and thats one reason why i cant leave, iam still needed here the second
reason is some work offer related to ffmpeg once these 2 are done i might
leave

I stated it privately to a few, i repeat it in public here.
I have no problem with people working on mans tree or with later returning to
mine.
