[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 3/3] doc/developer: Add an item to the policy about maintainership

[Michael Niedermayer]

This is intended to solve the issue where developers and or maintainers
reply with LGTM somewhere in the middle of a long thread maybe conditionally
on other changes or just on some hunks that are part of a patch that doesnt
apply cleanly and then run away without applying the change and no one else
being certain what exactly they meant or just forget once the conditions are
met that someone had previously conditionally approved the patch.
