I cannot report issues before I find them (that would be two days ago 
on Trac). Regardless of who violated it, the whole point about code 
freezes is to not make regression-prone changes when there is not enough 
time to find and address bugs timely.

So I "accepted" the answer, since it said you agreed with the review:
https://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2014-May/098018.html

At that point, the reasonable expectation is for an amended patch on 
the mailing list. Instead you went ahead without actually taking the 
review comments into account. That is ignoring my review comments. 
Period.

Ditto.

It is you, not j-b, that ignored my review comments. Almost every 
developer has ignored a review at some point and indeed the reviewer can 
be wrong sometimtes. But you should expect to be held "accountable" 
then.

As far as the input item options are concerned, I seems my "accusation" 
-if you want to call it that- is totally founded and I stand by it.

(I might have been confused regarding the resume feature otherwise.)
