I'm not trying to flame/troll here, although - admittedly - trying to
raise an unrelated valid point in a flame thread is difficult to say the
least.

My point remains: Whoever is not listed in MAINTAINERS cannot expect
others to know they are maintaining some random part of MPlayer.  If you
wish for this fact to be known, announce it, otherwise don't complain.

I'm saying this in general, not aimed at anyone in particular.
