I think you should sign a SoW that has "Merged in git master" as a Deliverable for 300 commits you spend half a year of ALL your free time on This would be best. I will not sign that and it seems you are ok with it. But lets continue the argument: Let us first assume there is a blocked set of patches because otherwise obviously none of this matters. If you have a contract that says you get payed when code is merged then you cannot submit an invoice before the code is merged so its up to you to make that happen. Doing months long debates on the ML bringing things up to the TC, and there is no gurantee you will succeed or how long this process would take, it could take months or years. You might never get payed as the TC might just decide not to agree with you or might not come to a conclusion. If you have a contract that says you get payed when you took care of all reasonable comments then you can submit an invoice once you done that with documentation what and why is unreasonable. Now you need to be paid, you can just sit back and wait In the background FFmpeg and SPI might invoke the TC to verify the list claimed unreasonable. If the TC agrees you get paid, and the patches maybe would be applied If the TC disagrees there would be more work before you are paid if the TC takes months or comes up with no conclusion. You will need to be paid thx PS: do you have a single person willing to sign this Deliverable you want ? If not, how will the STF thing work ?
