Are you _sure_ this is an opinion that is shared by the majority of 
contributors on this mailing list?

Quite a few FFmpeg contributors are paid by companies and the popularity of 
FFmpeg is largely due to its pragmaticism and solving real-case scenarios by 
users and companies. Aka "serious project" and "working code", not "beautiful 
code".

There are many academics/research/fun closed/open projects on multimedia that 
focus on fun and beautiful.
But I don't think FFmpeg is the best one for this.

As for the release management, I would understand that Michael want to stop 
doing it, but Michael needs to say that explicitly and  maybe someone wants to 
step up to take this task.

Best,
