Description
There are numerous examples in commit history which points out that merging changes from libav is more and more not-trivial task.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
This was discussed before, and we realized that it would make the whole merging business impractical, considering that each review may take several days. So I'm for letting Michael do his merging work with no review, and then have some occasional flames about how things were merged.
Also there are some areas where the merges are not that simple because the two codebases diverged too much, in that case it is necessary the work of a dedicated maintainer to port the relevant changes.
Since this is a policy issue, should be discussed on the ML.
