The mandate of the CC is to
"arbitrage and make decisions when inter-personal conflicts occur in the project. It will decide quickly and take actions, for the sake of the project."

The CC has ignored the mobbing from 2 developers
In fact it has blocked moderators from helping.
(not even mentioning the wasted time, blocking of STF 2025,
 delays in security fixes, ...) that where conseuqences of that

This went on for 2-3 months and one can easily write dozends of independant
complaints. But given that some hostility came directly from a CC member.
And the CC did little. Few complaints where actually submitted.

So what is this all now about exactly ?

It smells like some complaint will be used as pretext for the CC to extend
its mandate.
Something like "Theres a interpersonal conflict related to FFmpeg funds,
now the CC can write an oppinon on funds"
And a disagreement on funds isnt a interpersonal conflict in the first place

Whatever the exact cases this is about, it will take time away
from FFmpeg development. Even if we just have to go over
the past 4 months of debates and mails again and argue about it again

I just dont understand what this is supposed to be good for

thx

The difference between a dictatorship and a democracy is that every 4 years
the population together is allowed to provide 1 bit of input to the government.
