Are you _sure_ this is an opinion that is shared by the majority of contributors on this mailing list?
Quite a few FFmpeg contributors are paid by companies and the popularity of FFmpeg is largely due to its pragmaticism and solving real-case scenarios by users and companies. Aka "serious project" and "working code", not "beautiful code".
There are many academics/research/fun closed/open projects on multimedia that focus on fun and beautiful.
But I don't think FFmpeg is the best one for this.
As for the release management, I would understand that Michael want to stop doing it, but Michael needs to say that explicitly and maybe someone wants to step up to take this task.
Best,
