The interactions with Mans > are probably the best example of this. Interactions with Måns and everyone else were also pretty terrible, to the point that he also left Libav in a rage quit (see #libav-devel on 2011/09/17 for related, when he left. Michael was not here). Note that I'm not saying this is the reason he completely left the project. > - your interaction with whoever provided infrastructure service was > horrible[1].

I'm pretty sure you already did with your swine shirts. This was also a quote from 2011, aka the date of the fork, when everyone was pretty tense because of the takeover. Being insulted because you miss your "stabbing in the back" (I know you love that expression) is something that might be understandable. About the "monkey" thing, this is obviously just a remix of the expression "patch monkey" that was used in the projects since a long time ago: https://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel-irc/2010-February/000026.html <elenril> patch monkeys are too lazy https://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel-irc/2010-May/000104.html <janneg> any patch monkeys around? http://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2011-February/102571.html "And then i remember when chatting with ben that he felt the commiters as mere patch monkeys who anyone with enough time could join, but from more chatting with actual members of the commiter team they seem to rather think they lead ffmpeg now and have actual decission power."

This is the second time you mention security in this mail. I think it might be wise to not dig too much on the security side of Libav. I could for example mention: http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commit;h=d6af26c55 > - you putting in FFmpeg pretty much every patch from every branch you > can come by, including my incomplete work from github (you did for pulse > and segment with interesting results, hopefully you won't do that again > anymore). Yes, with full authorship, because those were requested & needed in FFmpeg. Also, communication does not work with you (we FFmpeg are definitely ignored by most of the people on Libav); this means that obviously we are not going to annoy you for information or status about your progress. May I remind you that Michael is banned from the mailing-list, IRC and some of the developers repositories? Why would you expect him to even try to communicate with you about these contributions? > - you "contacting" whoever brings patches in Libav. (Keiji was not happy > to remember you and we got other people quietly asking what to do of it). The politic of Libav to alienate contributors is also well developed: 10:44:01 < Xeta> Are the repositories for libavformat shared between ffmpeg and libav in any way? 10:44:26 < Xeta> I've nevery really understood the difference 10:44:27 <@lu_zero> Xeta: ffmpeg merges everything we do and then insult us calling us monkeys 10:44:43 < Xeta> Haha, i see 10:44:46 < Xeta> Bastards Our contributors also received mails from the Libav team. I don't remember FFmpeg complaining about that. Anyway, feel free to defend Libav in this thread against the angry users, but putting all the burden of past mistakes (by both sides) on Michael is not an answer nor helping anything.
