Yes, you are correct here of course.

But i think a company which actually depends on a FFmpeg vote outcome

will be able to connect the dots and be able to enumerate the options
to influcence said vote

* do they have an employee with vote rights, iam sure she will not
vote in a way that ends her own job

* how did she get these vote rights ? ahh she submitted 20 patches ...

* are there other employees who could submit 20 patches ?

* are there contractors who could submit 20 patches ?

* can they hire someone who could submit 20 patches ?

...


thx
