I agree that we need someone in charge. But I also think that the
initial work only gives ownership for a short while, after that it
should be controlled by whoever is active.

The last patch I saw was from Pierre, maybe Derick should also prepare
one and we should have a patch shoot-out :-)

While this sounds like a joke it could break the stalling going on. And
while I think both Derick and Pierre can come up with a decent interface
I would be very sad if none of it would make it into 5.2 as I agree that
it's an important set of functions.

So my vote is for

[X] Indefinitely delay 5.2 release until filter issue can be resolved.

with the addition that we should find a way (e.g. shoot-out) to make
"Indefinitely" not longer than 1 or 2 weeks.
