It was all about coding style, spelling, formatting etc. I simply believe that there are more important things I can contribute to FFmpeg than submitting pretty-printed and well formatted patches.

Then ignore those, people will generally comment on anything they can find (what would be the point of not saying when something isn't as good as it could be?).
Since I expect Michael intends to merge anyway you don't have to actually "pass" review.

What is there to do except review? And there's always someone doing a bit of reviewing, even though if you are unlucky it might end up with only comments you do not care much about.
