If git hates you and sometimes does things that you didnt intend at all then
that would be a problem with direct pushes as theres no way to undo.
But maybe i misunderstand.


Yes, that's right :), I think you also remarked that I am an expert of careless mistakes :(. I am still at the bottom of the Git learning curve, being more used to the GitHub PR things (which IMO avoids well to do a mess with upstream repo). Additionally, I think that it does not worth it to take risks (including the risk of compromised machine) about giving me write rights with the only few patches I send. It would be another story if I become more active on FFmpeg code in the future.


Also to get git write access, post a patch that adds yourself to the
MAINTAINERs file. When noone objects then ill add your key and apply
the MAINTAINER patch.
Also, if you're uncomfortable pushing to the repository that's fine too. It is 
not a problem, but you may have to prod and remind us, perhaps a few times (or 
more), to push stuff.

I kindly request a maintainer to push one (the latest one?) of the DPX patches in this thread (i.e. right I am uncomfortable pushing to FFmpeg repo directly, I would do it only if it is the only method for having my patches pushed upstream after review due to no current maintainer willing to push them), as well as reviewing then push (if they are fine) the ones related to FFV1 [1]
