Yes

To reduce this conflict of interrest problem. I asked Pierre if he can
take over the leading role in the current FFmpeg - STF/SPI thing
He was the only person who contacted me and helped with writing the SoW

process than i do, so i think that helps beyond just a reduction
of conflict of interrest.
