A random subscriber cannot do that, but if they are thick as thieves
with the people who managed to gain control of the committees, so that
they can be sure the tech will side with them and they can threaten you
if you point that their objections are flimsy a little too clearly, then
they can block your patch with a vague “it does not belong in ffmpeg”,
that does require a lot less effort than reviewing.
