Not being a regular, this may not count for much. But this sounds like
a great opportunity, lets not pass it up. Projects i have seen on the
mailing list over the last two years or so that i remember and should
be of interest:
- swscale rewrite/update/extension
- deal with the libavdevice situation
- remove postproc
- Nicolas various utility proposals for strings, options, etc
- hell, even a better infrastructure for dealing with incoming patches
and tests surrounding them, using pull requests, automatic CI fate
runs upon incoming pull requests, etc.

These are issues that are either maintenance or infrastructure work,
unlikely to be funded by companies, but can help the whole project
forward. I know a bunch of these are contentious, but they are worth
exploring. You all probably have ten more better ideas since you know
the project better.

Please focus on getting something together. I fail to see serious
issues. This is not a vehicle for some company interest or closed
source interest to influence the project. This is not a vehicle for
some unpopular minority opinion on a direction the project should take
to get pushed through. This is not unfair in its distribution by
nature--suggest something you'd like to work on, this is a good chance
to get it funded.

I understand there are potentially legitimate issues around project
management that come up here again. Of course these should be
discussed. But do so in parallel to moving forward and putting an
application together.

All the best,
Dee
