The question was for Paul. Even if you take Anton's knee-jerk threats of 
reverts as LibAV-think, they were but the last straw (Paul wrote as much).

You have had heated arguments against Paul in recent times too. You have also 
argued a lot of exercising your review privileges, which sounds like a very 
libavish notion to me - a LibAV notion that made into written down FFmpeg 
project rules. As a matter of fact, regardless of who was right or wrong, and 
whence, I can only _observe_ that Paul did complain specifically about you on 
the IRC channel. To be fair, he also abundantly abused JB there, although I do 
not know how much of it was sarcasm vs actual attack.

But in any case, by that same logic, you could also be "thank[ed] for your 
contribution in this". In my opinion, this would be unfair to you, and 
accordingly, you are being unfair to whomever you designate by "libav".

(For the sake of utmost clarity, I am not so vain as to consider myself a part 
of the former project known as libav with however few contributions I made 
thereto.)

> Thank you for your contribution in this.

@CC: Yes, that second sentence can be construed as an ad hominem against 
Anton. Feel free to ban me.
