ok, ive split and applied some parts of the patch.
Iam happy to apply the rest too, if you want and split it cleanly

But we then might need help in integrating changes that are based
on the pre-cleanup version. (I dont know if anyone / any fork will
ignore the cleanup and work on top of the old code or not).
Alternatively we of course could in that case revert the cleanup
if it causes conflicts ...

also, "I would be happy to help if bugs are found or if new features
have to be added" <--- thats pretty much what maintainership is about
and also reviewing patches, but there havnt been that many patches
for hlsenc IIRC
So maybe you want to add yourself to MAINTAINERs anyway ?
You can always post a patch to remove yourself again if you loose
interrest.

Thanks
