  In addition, inclusion will be speeded up if you make it available as
a patch to gst-plugins-bad, even better if it comes as a git patch (i.e.
checkout gst-plugins-bad  git module and integrate your code into it
along with the proper Makefile/configure addition as git commits)

  If you share a *lot* of code with the v4l2 plugin... it would be
better to try to integrate it in gst-plugins-good with the v4l2 plugin.
But warning, the quality-levels/requirements for merging something into
-good are much higher than for -bad. If you do so, make sure you read
the following document for what is expected:
