Hey, wait a moment there!  You have committed 32 times this year and 144
times in the last year.  Not one of the people who voted for closing
Uoti's account comes even close to that, you have done more than all
of them *combined*!  Some numbers:

                2007    2008    total

roberto           58      21       79
ivan              24       9       33
alban             17      11       28
aurelien           8       0        8
michael            2       0        2
-------------------------------------
combined         109      31      140

Here are the rest of the people that committed in 2008 excluding
translators that do not work on the code (voroshil does both) and
FFmpeg-only developers, up to r26680 (also excluding homepage
commits):

diego           1038     504     1542
reimar           690     246      936
voroshil         312       8      320
nico             212      43      255
benjamin         144      32      176
ulion            153      13      166
eugeni           106      56      162
uoti              99      20      119
guillaume         93      24      117
compn             97      16      113
cehoyos           89       8       97
ivo               65       4       69
zuxy              55      12       67
vayne             14       3       17
corey              9       6       15
attila            10       5       15
loren             11       2       13
rik                1       3        4

So we have 7 people that are more active than any of the voters
combined.

100% agreed.
