I know that EVC implementation isn't the only thing you are working on at the moment but we'd like to do another step forward, toward merging our implementation into the master branch of the FFmpeg repository.

Continual synchronization of our changes with the latest FFmpeg changes and splitting our changes into patches is, let's say a painstaking job. It would be much easier to develop and refine the code if we could skip that hard splitting on patches step that we have to do each time we do any, even small change.

I cannot speak for others but ATM for me its difficult to add this patchset to my
todo list. If someone reviews and applies it it could make it in for the release
but will anyone, i do not know.
What i can say is that if a patch which adds you to MAINTAINERS is applied ping me
and ill give you git write (unless there are some new standing objections), 
and once you have that you can work on this code with less pain. 
But i will leave applying the MAINTAINERS change to others too
as some people seemed not happy anout it and i think in such case its better if a 2nd
developer does that

PS: Maybe you can troll the people who didnt like your MAINTAINERS addition into
reviewing & applying your patchset. Its not an unreasonable request because if
you dont have git write someone else has to apply changes

thx
