maintainers will review and commit your stuff.
+12. Always send a patch to the mplayer-dev-eng mailing list before committing
+ if you suspect that the change is going to be controversial. Based on past
+ experience, these changes are likely to be controversial:
+ - feature removal, even if obsolete
+ - changes to "special" output messages (like the "Core dumped ;)" message)
+ - verbosity changes from default (info) level
+ - changes to "historical" parts of docs and webpages
+ - use of internal or external libraries
+
+
+13. Try to keep important discussions and requests (also) on the
+ mplayer-dev-eng mailing list, so that all developers can benefit from them.
+ IRC is good for quick discussions, but nobody is there 24/7.
