the quotes are from michael in 2015 saying elect a new leader. pretty
sure we never elected one.

my personal opinion of who can be root in our project is not acceptable
behavior ? feel free to explain.

i dont think you were an admin there, i wasnt including you in that
list.

although since you are listed as a member
on https://github.com/libav/ , and you asked to be root @ ffmpeg, i'm asking you to do an administrative task and either update that github repo or take the steps to close it down.

i asked you in person at vdd last week if you met the requirements
to administer ffmpeg (which iirc is just bare minimum "do you have 1+
years of server administration experience"), and you declined to
tell me if you met the requirements. which is fine, no one has to tell
me anything.

not answering simple questions in person, and not updating old
github repositories makes me less inclined to vote for you as an
administrator in the future. in my personal opinion.
