At the risk of diverging from the topic:

IMO, due to bad feelings, pride, grudges, etc, present in both projects,
I think a new combined entity with a different name would be the most
likely method/result of re-unification, and the deciding or most
important factor for many libav developers would be the status of your
role or position in the new organization.
