or someone else could have stepped up much earlier?

  Well people actually have tried that 4 years ago: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.ffmpeg.devel/123868 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.ffmpeg.devel/123868 and somehow leadership was still a thing for Michael at that time, which really contradicts with something he says now.

    That looks very much like a hostile takeover, it's unsurprising that it failed.

      It was very much a hostile takeover. If I remember correctly, the people who controlled the infrastructure like the website and mailing list booted out not only Michael but also a bunch of the existing maintainers of ffmpeg code and it got really ugly.

        You might check your facts before spouting this kind of sentences. Sadly the people on the Libav side never spoke up and nobody really checked or asked since they are "EVIL".
