It's not clear from https://www.ffmpeg.org/community.html that the extra 
members should be refreshed every time the GA is updated or that a vote should 
get held up if that hasn't happened yet.

It looks like a request to add extra members to the GA should be done 
explicitly by someone requesting a vote on it, which can be done at any time. 
Waiting until something else comes up for a vote seems suboptimal because it 
then delays that first decision by at least a couple of weeks (given the rules 
for voting).
