Absolutely not, I disagree with some points I already mentioned.

Give me some time.

Well if you don't want it at least say it, or make something in favor of
it, I mention problems in general directions (deprecated API, bugs) for
discussing and trying to improve things. I wouldn't even talk if this
wasn't worth it and you know that.

I point at problems and you don't even answer to them nor justify
yourself, you just ignore them. I don't think this is a good behaviour
as a project leader, now I admit that you spend much time on ffmpeg and
you do a great job.

No, maintainer MUST spend some time fixing bugs in code he maintains,
fixing bugs is a PRIORITY. If he doesn't like the patch, he is free to
fix it in a better way.
