I hope this helps, I will close your ticket (and try to explain there).
This response shows one of the reasons why the ffmpeg project has poor
documentation. This ticket[1] points out deficiencies in the
documentation. The developer's response does not refute the
deficiencies. It does not improve the actual documentation. Yet the
developer closes the ticket. Thus the project will lose visibility that
this part of the documentation is deficient.
Not to mention, it's terribly frustrating to a junior contributor put
effort into documenting a deficiency, and have a senior developer
essentially discard that attempt to contribute. After such a rejection,
what is the chance that the junior contributor will make another
contribution? The world is full of more welcoming and more cooperative
projects.
