What is a more effective use of a potential contributor's spare time:
For example a port of Kino to current ffmpeg¹, or adding a feature to or
improving the usability of one of the newer actively developed and
distributed video editors?  Of course it is entirely up to such an
aspiring developer how he chooses to spend his time.

¹) Distributors do not like it when applications bundle their own
outdated copies of libraries.  If they do not see any upstream progress
with such an application program but alternative programs exist which
work with current libraries, it is easy to guess which ones distributors
will choose to package.
