Dear Kieran,
While I appreciate your concerns, I must point out that the issues you mentioned regarding the maintenance of third-party libraries are not limited to corporate contributors. People change jobs and their focus may change, but this is not exclusive to those working for corporations. Furthermore, it is not necessarily the case that someone who has maintained a particular part of code in a project like FFmpeg will abruptly cease doing so upon changing jobs.
I believe it's important to consider each individual's level of commitment to a project, rather than making assumptions based on generalizations. It's also worth noting that while there may have been issues with maintaining patches to certain third-party libraries in the past, it doesn't mean that it will be each and every time.
Regards Dawid
Whilst all of this is true, the community is able to pick up when it's an internal FFmpeg component. When it's a third-party library on another person's Github, the community can't do that.
Kieran
We understand your concern about the fact that the community may not have the same level of control over third-party libraries outside of the internal FFmpeg components. However, our implementation of the EVC codec is available on GitHub (https://github.com/mpeg5/xeve https://github.com/mpeg5/xevd ) under the BSD license, which means that anyone can review and contribute to the code. Are there no other third-party libraries in the FFMpeg?
