First of all, merci pour tout ce que t'as fait.
I think people will understand, if they read the article, that VLC is not a one-person project. You make it pretty clear in the interview.
VLC is one of the biggest open source projects _ever_. For it to maintain its quality over 18 years(!), it needs a leader with a vision and integrity. If it wasn't for an interview like this, people wouldn't know about the collective work that's happening behind the scenes. It's kind of a "necessary evil" to have a single person exposed to the media. And I'm pretty sure that VLC would have either died, been sold, or turned into adware if it wasn't for you.
So I think it's a benefit overall to have you as the sole focus.
