[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/2] MAINTAINERS: remove Aurelien and David from matroska*

[Michael Niedermayer]

Hi Aurelien

Seeing some of the old developers like you reply strangly makes me happy :)

This patch removes you from matroska* (which has another maintainer listed)
I will apply this patch once David replies

Iam currently (slowly) trying to update the whole MAINTAINERS file
you are listed in 11 other places too where there is no other maintainer
listed

The MAINAINER file now has a "status" like the kernels MAINTAINERS
so there are more shades than just maintained and unmaintained

And also a way to indicate that patches should be CC-ed to teh mainainer

So the burden for maintaining some code should be lower than previously.
If thats something that you want to do

What would you prefer to happen to your other entries?
Listed below for reference:

metadata subsystem                      Aurelien Jacobs
  aptx.c                                Aurelien Jacobs
  ass*                                  Aurelien Jacobs
  srt*                                  Aurelien Jacobs

  vp6                                   Aurelien Jacobs
  ass*                                  Aurelien Jacobs
  metadata*                             Aurelien Jacobs

  srtdec.c                              Aurelien Jacobs
  voc.c                                 Aurelien Jacobs

also the status for reference:
*Status*, one of the following:
[X] Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means it has been replaced by a better system and you should be using that.
[0] No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the role as you write your new code].
[1] It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do much other than throw the odd patch in.
[2] Someone actually looks after it.

thx
