You make it sound unpleasant :)

In all seriousness, my objective is being responsive to issues filed
against the IMF demuxer.

I am happy to set aside the time to be a maintainer if it helps
achieve that objective.

I am also happy to not be a maintainer if it will not help.

Yes.

Isn't this particularly true when there is no maintainer for that
module -- as is currently the case for the IMF demuxer?

On a related note, I would think that review of narrow bug fixes like
[1] would require relatively less time than, say, the addition of an
imf muxer.

In any case thanks for your help/input since the beginning of my
involvement with the codebase.
