[FFmpeg-devel] FFmpegs future and resigning as leader
If people want to continue merges from libav, someone else will have to do these. Indeed i fully admit the work and pressure caused by the merges is a main reason for my resignation.
will i ever return ? ... i might ..., if theres a nice and friendly environment, no hostile forks or at least none i have to interact with. But i will certainly not return as leader, this is not really a role i ever truly liked, more one i ended up with. Especially as somehow «leader» is being interpreted by everyone as «the guy who does all work noone else does, and takes all responsibility noone else wants to take»
tl;dr перевод в сабже.
