The Developer Documentation had instructions to subscribe to the ffmpeg-cvslog email list. But that is no longer accurate. For the purposes in this section -- review of patches, discussion of development issues -- ffmpeg_devel is the appropriate email list. Some developers may want to monitor ffmpeg-cvslog, but it is not mandatory. This is v3 of this doc, based on discussion in thread <https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2017-November/220528.html> and in response to docs Maintainer comments in <https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2017-December/221596.html>. 1. In doc/developer.texi, add a new section about ffmpeg-devel, based on existing text from ffmpeg-cvslog section regarding discussion of patches and of development issues. Reflect wording from discussion at <https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2017-November/221199.html> but with copy-editing to make wording more concise. 2. In doc/developer.texi, rewrite the ffmpeg-cvslog section to match the current usage of ffmpeg-cvslog. Some developers choose to follow this list, but it is not mandatory. There are a lot of improvements possible to the Developer Documentation page, beyond this refactoring. However, making those improvements is a much bigger and more difficult task. This change is "low hanging fruit". Signed-off-by: Jim DeLaHunt <from.ffmpeg-dev@jdlh.com> Signed-off-by: Timothy Gu <timothygu99@gmail.com>
