Let's just get one thing straight: FFmpeg != you.

FFmpeg, not existing as a legal/formal entity, is best defined by the
active developers at any given time.  You are but one of these
developers, and I dare say you are not essential to the project.  It
is not for you to decide who is or is not part of FFmpeg, nor where
FFmpeg is hosted.

Do not get me wrong; your contributions over the years have been of
value.  That does not, however, give you exclusive rights to FFmpeg,
and it certainly does not allow you to bully other developers.

If you feel that getting along with other people is too much of a
burden for you, I will not, and cannot, stop you forking FFmpeg.  Just
do not expect many to follow you.  That said, I sincerely hope that it
will not come to this.

As for my powers as admin of mphq, I feel it is my responsibility not
to take orders from any one person.  Not from you or from anyone else.
To add or remove svn write access for someone, there should be a
general agreement.  You having a quarrel with someone is not
sufficient.
