Hello,
I think it might be a good idea to mention how MPlayer and FFmpeg
repositories work together and where libswscale belongs etc.
This is what I came up with:
Index: DOCS/tech/svn-howto.txt

     IRC is good for quick discussions, but nobody is there 24/7.
 
 
+14. Traditionally the MPlayer, FFmpeg, libdvdnav and libdvdread SVN accounts
+    are shared by all projects. Obviously you should not make use of that
+    without contacting the respective communities first. Also be warned that
+    libswscale, while in MPlayer repository, is maintained by FFmpeg.

 Also read DOCS/tech/patches.txt !!!!
 
 We think our rules are not too hard. If you have comments, contact us.
