For those of use who aren't privy to everything- what wasn't true? Please
tell us. (Hint- opinion can be neither true nor false.)
From my limited view, what Jim said makes sense in context, and I can
extrapolate that the gatekeepers to the code really aren't interested in
minor patches from other people, nor fixing or even mentioning problems
identified by other*. The ticket Jim linked
(https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/8944#comment:3) does illustrate this- a
single sentence could easily be added to the docs to warn users of this
behavior but instead Cigaes fights it (possibly taking more time than to
make a patch).

AND, even someone skilled in unix operations might not realize that
limitation about pipes (I wouldn't have thought of it and I've been using
BSD unix since 1988). Maybe I don't know "unix" at all.
AND, that might not apply when running on another OS with different pipe
semantics or permissions.

Selectively quoting, but I agree with all of what Phil said.
