That's true. There are differences, and my expressed support is
specifically tied to the person, not about having just "somebody".
I have my reservations about too early adoption of oneVPL and I think
the patchset "Cleanup QSV Filters.." is doing too many things at once,
but well - being a maintainer still doesn't mean that one could merge
anything without consent.
But the current situation, like having two or three people working full-time
on the subject being depending on somebody who isn't following progress
and unable assess, evaluate and test proposed changes is quite awkward.

I'm actually wondering, whether registered maintainers that do not
respond anymore to contributions for a certain amount of time,
shouldn't be unregistered automatically at some point?
Kind regards,
