some ...

where can i vote for you guys to join the european commission? you really
would fit in well, ignoring half the votes as they where not sent to the
correct list or ignore the deadline AND who commits the fixes
that is diego you are as selective as ivan is, and i belive this is extreemly
unprofessional

you can call politicans corrupted, but truth is many just act against
democratic majority because they think its better for everyone and democracy
is wrong, what you do here is identical

you dont start a vote and then when the results dont please you you just
ignore half, do you want me to do this too for other votes like about
policy? everyone who didnt clearly say YES or NO is ignored? even if his
vote is crystal clear from his message or more precissely i ignore or
not ignore half of the votes depending on what is closer to what i want?

everyone has regrets about kicking off a voting after the results dont
match what (s)he wanted, we all wanted uau to fix the code he didnt ...
i say close his account he can send patches until he is willing to
work in a team and listen to others

i already requested it several days ago (yes directly to root at mphq), as 
you see root doesnt care

diego you WILL at ONCE remove uau from the list of people who can commit
to ffmpeg this is the last time i request this
i will after writing this mail start searching for a new svn server for 
ffmpeg and will stop _AFTER_ you confirm that
1. I as ffmpeg maintainer have full authority about who has svn write access
   to ffmpeg, that is if i say close someones account you do without any
   idiotic vote
2. uau does not have svn write access to ffmpeg anymore

even on sourceforge the project admin was not under the mercy of some
wanna be god when it came to giveing or taking away svn write access
