Current listed maintainers for vaapi plugin are not reponsive and/or currently active in the ffmpeg community. Thus, vaapi plugin patches (and qsv plugin) have generally gone ignored or lost in the ether for too long. Remove Gwenole Beauchesne from vaapi maintainer who has not been active since 2016. Current alternative maintainer for vaapi is Mark Thompson whom has not been active since March/April 2021. Therefore, add Haihao Xiang to vaapi maintainer who's primary role is FFmpeg development with a focus on the vaapi and qsv plugins. Haihao has over a decade of media experience and many years of FFmpeg development experience, amongst other media frameworks. The additional patch for adding Haihao as qsv plugin maintainer has been submitted previously: https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg/patch/20210608141134.27448-1-zhongli_dev@126.com/ This will help FFmpeg to continue to be the leading multimedia framework by allowing these plugins to be actively improved, enhanced, and maintained for existing and future HW platforms.
