I think Alex just wants to prevent some FUD about MPlayer being dead
now from spreading.  Apparently when you announced your leaving this
caused quite a stir on Hungarian OSS news sites and the same seems to
be the case now.

Well, Mike Melanson and Nick Kurshev come to mind ;)

There should be three CVS requests floating around:

Syrjälä, Ville		- vo_dfbmga
Plourde, Nicolas 	- vo_quartz
Hidvégi, Zoltán		- vf_filmdint and filters in general

All of them should have access to docs.
