You mean you never read mailing lists and are wondering that there are more than
35 people active? Well, I am not surprised...

You mean the one who swore to me last year he would never take over FFmpeg,
would not allow anyone to take over FFmpeg and who would close the account of

You mean like doing the mailing list administration that nobody looked after for

You and the 16 others (Alex afaict was the only truthful one) are lying cowards,
