All of you: While pointing at good patches that may have been lost in
the noise is a worthwhile endeavor, please also provide some
information, not just URLs.  The probabability of us opening that URL
will be infinitely higher if you provide some helpful information.

If you want to see patch XYZ included in MPlayer, please test it as
best as you can and try to find any problems it may still contain.

Here are some suggestions:

	* Does it still apply to current CVS?
	* Does it work as advertised?
	* Can you find any bugs/is the solution incomplete?
	* Does it include documentation?
	* Can the implementation be improved?

The more of this information you can provide the better.  The more of
these problems you solve, the higher is the probability for the patch
to get included.

All of the maintainers are quite overloaded at the moment.  If you can
help with testing and reviewing patches, this would be a very useful
contribution.
