[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] Experiment: enable github pull requests

[Leandro Santiago]

Hi devs, I'm been following the discussion but not taking part on it.

I've just created a WIP PR on the forgejo instance which I'd like to get review, in case the instance is ready for the experiment.

Please let me know if you prefer that I send the changes via the mailing list instead, in case the experiment has not yet started.

(Please also let me know if I should start a new thread for it, as I still feel a bit confused by it).

Here is the link for the PR: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/10

Cheers,

Leandro
