FFmpeg to Google: Fund us or stop sending bugs

Not too fond of maintainers getting too uppity about this stuff. I get that it can be frustrating to receive bug report after bug report from people who are unwilling or unable to contribute to the code base, or at the very least to donate to the team.

But the way I see it, a bug report is a bug report, no matter how small or big the bug or the team, it should be addressed.

I don’t know, I’m not exactly a pillar of the FOSS community with weight behind my words.

It’s not bug reports. It’s CVE.

There is a convergence of very annoying trends happening: more and more are garbage found and written using AI and with an impact which is questionable at best, the way CVE are published and classified is idiotic and platform founding vulnerability research like Google are more and more hostile to projects leaving very little time to actually work on fixes before publishing.

This is leading to more and more open source developers throwing the towel.

The lowered lead times are because devs have an entitled additude that others fix their code when they discover bugs in it.

The 90 day period is the grace period for the dev, not a demand. If they don't want to fix it then it goes public.
