Besides, we already do have a number of (official) Ubuntu Developers
in pkg-multimedia. Having said this, I think pkg-multimedia is a great
oppurtinity for newcomers to get involved into Debian.

Regarding h264enc and xvidenc, I had a brief look at them early last
year. AFAIR, they are quite sophisticated shell scripts, but otherwise
pretty straight forward to maintain. Count me in as supporter for
these packages.
