[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v14 9/9] avcodec/evc: Changes in Changelog and MAINTAINERS files

[Dawid Kozinski/Multimedia (PLT) /SRPOL/Staff Engineer/Samsung Electronics]

Hi,

Thank you for your prompt response.

Lynne told me that Michael has made it clear that anyone on the list must
have commit rights. I don't have commit rights so I removed my records from
the MAINTAINERS file.
Regardless, I will maintain the code related to the EVC codec as long as I
can.

Best regards 
Dawid

Here's a question for you, and the answer probably becomes self-evident from
that. If you, Dawid, stop working for Samsung, for example because you're
starting your own business or Samsung fires you or Google hires you, or if
Samsung stops sponsoring this new codec called "EVC" or stops contributing
to this new library "libxeve". Will you, Dawid, still maintain these files?

If the answer is yes, then you can shorten these lines ("evc*.[ch]: Dawid"
& "livxev[ed].c: Dawid") and keep them.

If the answer is no, then I think you should remove (or adjust) these lines,
since they are (in their current form) inaccurate: you are not maintaining
these files, your company is.

This makes no sense: our community is a mish-mash of individuals, each
entitled to their own opinion. If we - as a community - can't agree, you can
ask for a formal opinion from the technical committee.
