on a slightly different subject, do people want me to create a git repository
on git.ffmpeg.org, similar to:

https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffmpeg.git

for this ?
as tha patches are not for the main ffmpeg repository ...
or maybe ive missed a discussion about this and this already has a intended

thanks
