I had some plans to contribute to ffmpeg (on a completely different part of the codebase) in the near future, for which I even bought some hardware... With this attitude from the devs, I'm pretty sure I won't be doing that any time soon.https://twitter.com/BMahol/status/1255884140249001984 …

I understand your frustration. I do. But you know that the only way to fix this is to go back to the devs and say you sorry for having a bit of an attitude, but you really think you could improve on the codebase. Look, I’ve even written it already so you can look for yourself.
Look, I know you think I'm the asshole here, but... *other* ffmpeg devs have already apologized to me privately about this. It's not just me here. There's a pattern with some ffmpeg devs. Also, you did kind of jump in there saying I should be banned from open source.

Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Yes, I think the tweet about embarrassing code was no good. And OSS is as much about trust as it is about tech when it comes to contributions. Not all devs do OSS for the users. Many (like me) do it because it provides a challenge I don’t get elsewhere.

That's the difference between a pet project and a widely used library. You can do whatever you want for pet projects (I have many), but if you're maintaining something in wide usage, you *need* to care about your users.
