Your question was literally whether "should libpostproc be split out into a 
seperate (sic) source repository". I maintain that that would be worth a 
couple hundred eurors - if it had not already been done.

The question of maintaining libpostproc is mostly orthogonal. The value of 
that work could be essentially anything from zero to hundred of thousands, 
since it is completely dependent on how much additions and renovations are 
taken up.

However if we assume that the library is to be split out, then this is no 
longer a matter for FFmpeg-devel, making everybody here incompetent (in the 
judicial sense) to answer the question.

On the other hand, if we assume that it does not get separated, I think the 
lack of activity tells about the impopularity of the library. I don't see the 
point in spending time and/or money if nobody cares anymore, unless this is a 
research project but that does not seem to be what you are proposing.
