The way the situation is, is that iam accused and harrasset since months
This must stop. Normality has to return. not just for me but also for all
other people and companies.

Then i need to understand, what the people really want in relation to this
subject. I have been told for example only 2 people really care about this
democratication. Both having significant influence on the GA, and community

In case most people want democratication and its actually an important thing
for them. Then sure we will make it happen eventually.
This is a non trivial problem though but i had a surprising "revelation"
yesterday how this could be structured, but i really need to think more about it


Though some replies make me think a little, people are more interrested
in my vivisection than democratication of FFmpeg

Do people realize that making me look bad, is not helping FFmpeg, especially
given that i quite plausibly will still be an important person in FFmpeg in 10 or 20 years.
Even with democratication, for example i could retain a veto right or be
still in charge of some critical parts.

thx

If you think the mosad wants you dead since a long time then you are either
wrong or dead since a long time.
