Does Google seriously not have a whole team of people who help maintain ffmpeg?

Adding code/fixes is a tiny fraction of work compared to reviewing and maintaining.

The only reasonable way is for Google and other big corps to either sponsor members of the existing team or donate money to the project. And making it long term not one-shotting for publicity.
