Do you remember this suggested addition to the FAQ ?
https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2025-January/338186.html

It seems you dont remember it even though this was posted just a few days ago
I knew this is needed to be put in the FAQ ;(

This is a false statement. Iam not suggesting a change to the GA because of one CC
iam suggesting a change because it is vulnerable to an attack.

(The CC isnt even fixed by this, i think the concept of a CC elected out of a
community thats full of mutual hate is a bad idea)

But back to the topic, what do you suggest to fix the vulerability in the GA ?
Or you dont care?

thx

If you drop bombs on a foreign country and kill a hundred thousand
innocent people, expect your government to call the consequence
"unprovoked inhuman terrorist attacks" and use it to justify dropping
more bombs and killing more people. The technology changed, the idea is old.
