Since I haven't contributed enough to MPlayer (especially on the past 
months) to consider myself as a genuine developer to the project.
Hence, I do not consider myself as relevant for Uoti's trial.

The problem to me is that I don't see much active developers any more.
The few that used to be, generally try to work on FFMpeg instead, 
because trying to change Player is not worth the pain.

One thing I've noticed over the years, working on different projects
is that what most projects are missing are contributors.
The lack of manpower is usually number one reason of project failure
and I find it just sad that so much energy is wasted to flame and to
depreciate people's work and motivation while it could be used instead
to make the project grows.

So yes, if you want my opinion, Uoti may have broken some rules
(who the hell defined them after all, probably not a whole team)
but all he wanted to do is contribute for the good of MPlayer and
imho, he can't be blamed for that. Ironically, I see that some
of the people who asked for his account revocation may indeed follow
these rules, as the few times they actually commit something, they
have few chances to break them (and no I won't give names, even under 
torture :-)
