Happy to see mediacapture-main advance toward completion. Congrats to the folks actively contributing to the spec and implementations over the years!

Yes. I believe this TF continues to be the best home for these deliverables while the Timed Media WG is in the making. Longer term the Timed Media WG was envisioned as the home for these as well as other audio and video related deliverables beyond mediacapture-main.

The revised DAP WG (renamed to Device and Sensors WG) charter [1] under review [2] explicitly enumerates the mediacapture-depth and mediacapture-worker as deliverables to be worked on "in collaboration with the WebRTC Working Group".

Given that, I believe the only thing that needs to be done is to get the revised DAP/DAS WG charter approved, since the TF deliverables are covered by the union of RF commitments for both groups, as stated in the current TF charter [3] (linked from [4]).
