I would very gladly cooperate with you on such matters and make your
life easier where possible.  But what do we get for producing 80% of
the changes going into FFmpeg?  We get to hear "sod off" when we ask
for details on a possibly security-relevant commit.

On top of that we get a foul-mooded Baptiste barging into our IRC
channel complaining that we are about to merge a decoder that he
released as LGPL with FFmbc into Libav.  All that while FFmpeg
merges our changes every day[1].

So as long as this kind of behavior continues, please don't expect us
to go out of our way to simplify cooperation.  I'm disheartened to see
you end up on the receiving end of reactions to behavior that you have
absolutely no part in.  But you will have to accept that we will not
go out of our way to make lifting our work easier.

Sorry.

Diego

[1] FFmpeg is most certainly entitled to merge our work.  I'm not
complaining about the merging done by FFmpeg, I'm complaining about
the complaints from Baptiste.
