Continual synchronization of our changes with the latest FFmpeg changes and splitting our changes into patches is, let's say a painstaking job. It would be much easier to develop and refine the code if we could skip that hard splitting on patches step that we have to do each time we do any, even small change.

I assign myself to personally review the patchset and push it, if you review my policy
change on maintainership. As I said, I have no objection on who gets maintainership,
just that it is done explicitly via a separate list in the maintainers file.
