No. I made a mistaken assumption. I didn't know the level of modification non-Xiph people had done to Vorbis, and assumed that it was kept afloat at least in part by donations.
We tend to absorb the people who make regular, high-quality contributions. Good, motivated programmers who can find a useful niche without alot of handholding are rare. We try to make them feel welcome :-)
