I think it would be wiser to point to other administration of other
projects , especially ones that list infrastructure in some public
facing document.

rather than 

1. asking for a list of developers with write access
2. asking for a list of admins
3. when finding some unused developer or admin account, call the whole
thing insane and blame the current admin
4. point at the lack of x, y and z as evidence the current admin is bad

if your goal is to change ffmpeg admins, then just say so.

if your goal is to take maintaining of ffservers so that michael can
focus on code instead of admin, then just say that.

if your goal is to have the GA run things, then why not have the GA
vote on the plans to run ffmpeg? the GA can vote on admins, they can
vote on how to fund the server, they can vote on if they want bulgaria
to host ffmpeg, they can vote on all of these things and prepare what
the GA wants into a plan. and then the GA can present the plan and vote
yay or nay on the plan.

i tried to ask the developers at vdd about this in the meeting but its
possible that i didnt phrase it correctly. i apologize for that. i
asked jb and jb said that videolan is one group that can host ffmpeg,
at least. so thats an option for the GA to consider, should they not
like our bulgarian host.

if your goal is to endlessly argue , well thats ok too.

what is your goal?

thanks
