And just to sum up, lookign at MAINTAINERS file, you maintain:
- XviD codec
  => we use ffmpeg only and you probably never wrote any code from libxvid
- vo_svga.c
  => you did a rewrote of existing code
- vo_xvmc.c
  => copy/paste of vo_xv.c code, nothing's factorized, full of bugs
     and crahes with libmenu (but you don't care about as no one ever
     wrote in rules file that code had to work ...).

So you maintain 3 _really_ important files in MPlayer.

Also:
# svn log -v > commits.txt
# grep " iive " commits.txt  | wc -l
194
# grep " ben " commits.txt  | wc -l
315
# grep " diego " commits.txt  | wc -l
4840

Are you really sure you have any right to criticize him ?
I certainly do not.
The whole point is that your contribution is meaningless by comparison 
to the pain you've caused.

Also, your behavior is pissing me up and it's probably the same for 
other (silent) devels. You wanna blame Diego because Uoti's account 
hasn't been removed, that's ridiculous, but that's fine. However please
not that if you intend to play this stupid game any longer and if ever
Uoti's (or anyone else in fact) account is removed, than I'd like to 
vote for your own account removal (you can do the same for me, even if 
it is, I really do not fucking care).
