I propose that if we have the oppertunity again next year to receive a grant from STF. That we use it to fund:
* Paul to work on FFmpeg full time. My idea here is that he can work on whatever he likes in FFmpeg (so its not full time employment for specific work but simply full time employment for him to work on whatever he likes in FFmpeg any way he likes) Paul is the 2nd largest contributor to FFmpeg (git shortlog -s -n)
Instead of one person creating code five days a week, how about paying five people to review code one day a week each? As well as being less divisive among maintainers, a public list of people who are obliged to do reviews would make us peripheral developers feel less like we're shouting into a void.
