As you can see, I gave a link to the problematic .json file. If I were a developer of the library, this would be enough for me. I have made and maintained open source projects (see my bio on HN) and I have often got less to work with (people just explaining the problem without even giving me a data sample).
He was asking me to drill it down and basically debug his program and I simply wasn't interested in doing that.
(Keep in mind at least one of the Libav supported got questioned on his dayjob regarding "thievery" because of those lovely examples and the legends the fans kept propagating)
if everything that somebody from the libav side says here is automatically labelled bitterness and downvoted, maybe you can understand why some are indeed bitter.
I don't know if he's ever explicitly mentioned his "wrongdoings," but I do feel that he has changed for the better since the libav split. This is in terms of how he's interacted with people on the ffmpeg-devel mailing list, he's shown up consistently on IRC, and getting patches accepted aren't a royal pain as it was in the past. I don't know how real contributors/maintainers feel, but as a user and sometimes patch-submitter, I feel like things have gotten better.
Unfortunately within that GitHub issue, it didn't include the discussion from
the official #ircv3 channel: http://pastebin.com/Jm1vSWLu
This discussion really shows the unprofessionalism involved by certain individuals: threats to sabotage the project, the threat of attacking fellow members. These kinds of bullying activities should be exposed.
