[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/5] MAINTAINERS: Add a maintaince level field

[Michael Niedermayer]

Text was stolen from the linux kernel
This is thus identical to the kernel just a different more compact format.
I am very happy also to switch the file entirely to the format of the linux kernel maintainer list
if people prefer

 Please try to keep entries where you are the maintainer up to date!
 
-Names in () mean that the maintainer currently has no time to maintain the code.
+maintaince level:
+[X] Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means it has been replaced by a better system and you should be using that.
+[0] No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the role as you write your new code].
+[1] It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do much other than throw the odd patch in.
+[2] Someone actually looks after it.
+
 A (CC <address>) after the name means that the maintainer prefers to be CC-ed on
 patches and related discussions.
