The full quote was a request to first do something that you conveniently left out, and that you also appear to have ignored/rejected: | I noticed this same issue in ice_dtls_handshake in current whip.c, could you | fix this firstly? > Already back then this seemed strange to me. What does it even mean? I fail to see anything strange or hard to understand. (...) > So I don't think it's possible to say the maintainers had no time for a > review. The community commitee cannot compel maintainers to review code. They are not our employees or contractors. They are also not Michael's nor yours. Reviews are not owed; they are a courtesy. It is very much possible not to have time to review a sizable PR in months if you have other priorities in your day job, or simply are not allowed to do the review on your working hours. > In my opinion this result is much less complete than my PR from February > 2026, but I'll leave that to the community. > This is my personal opinion and I can't prove it, but I believe Jack Lau > and Steven Liu deliberately put my PR aside in favour of their GSoC > project. Either way, FFmpeg didn't win from this. If my code is suitable > for FFmpeg, then: I cannot speak for the entire CC but in my opinion, the presented evidence do _not_ establish deliberate action from either Jack or Steven in violation of the code of conduct beyond reasonable doubt, not even close. As such, I see no cause for CC action. If anything, posting accusations like this in public is bordering on defamation, which would violate the CoC and, potentially, applicable laws. So I would ask that you refrain from doing that sort of thing on ffmpeg-devel going forward. The community commitee, even if attribution didn't prevent reaching quorum and the current term hadn't expired, cannot take decisions on technical values of competing PRs. That would be a question for the technical commitee. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont https://www.remlab.net/ _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
