It's very different if we're talking about librempeg or some other unspecified 
fork. I could make a fork that removes MMX et al, and claim that I'm merging a 
fork.

That is the whole point of a statement of work. And I agree that it's tedious 
and possibly outright annoying...

Indeed I don't think that a semiformal open-source community with a lot of 
strong and varied opinions will carry such dotting of all i's very effectively. 
That has been one of the arguments for delegating this to a contracting IT 
company rather than to FFmpeg-devel and SPI.

Again, I don't think it's a fair comparison. GSoC rules are a given set by 
Google. Maintenance is not allowed nor are vague broadly defined tasks. Also 
the mentor payment is not really a proper compensation, nor is it intended to 
be.

>The difference here is FFmpeg developers are benefiting from the money.

That's a pretty major difference.

>We send an application and a scope of work.

That's exactly why we need to have a precise scope of work to vote on this.
