Hi All,

	I think the people who want contribute patches to ffmpeg, they can use any tools, whatever mail or GitHub.
	If the developer want submit patches to ffmpeg, of cause if the develop have intrested in ffmpeg, he can find the way in documents.
	If the developer have no interested in ffmpeg, you open all way to the developers. That way have no use.


Thanks

Steven Liu
