 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!  The world's highest paid software
engineers have to go begging to a FOSS project for assistance and
then expect immediate, high priority attention just because they
are Microslop.
 Well, ffmpeg got it right.  They placed their ticket at number 42.
 Stand in line like everyone else, you fucking moochers.
 

The picture might be different. The one's behind FOSS themselves, I think, are likely Microsoft people. Every single one of them.
I think they begin as independent bright developers of various sorts, then when they prove themselves, Microsoft simply buys them.
