Agreed. I think it's an extension of a situation that's existed for, eh, over 
ten years, probably. It happens on a lot of open source projects; the core 
development team form a clique so intense and insular that any help from 
outside is viewed as a threat. The level of vitriolic, very personal 
unpleasantness is mildly shocking until you get used to it.

It's no exaggeration to say that this problem is negatively affecting the 
entire field of open source software as it is very common. The ffmpeg example 
is very extreme but I don't really see what can be done about it. It's their 
project. They can do anything they want.
