There is a discussion on Reddit about sponsoring development of multithreading in Emacs, and people there say it's too hard, takes a lot of time and it doesn't even bring that much benefit to the user.

If this is the case (is it?) then what are those other features which could bring much more tangible benefits for the user and assuming somebody works on them full time sponsored by the community they can be implemented in, say,  a few months?

Would you interest in EAF?

github.com/manateelazycat/emacs-application-framework
(please add https header manually because if I don't remove it my mail server
will reject my mail for unknown reason)

It use platform specific API to paint QT windows on Emacs, so you can develop
wonderful applications in PyQT.

> Would you interest in EAF?

If you mean if the community would be interested in sponsoring it then you should create a poll and post it to Emacs.Reddit, for example.

There are 40k emacs users there, so from the responses you can get a picture if it's worthwile to start a crowfunding for EAF.

Does Emacs do video streams?  Can it play well with VLC and multicast 
streams?  Is that the most useful potential feature which Emacs 
lacks?  From what people say on r/spacex, proprietary systems don't 
play well collectively as user-friendly 'eye witness' solution.

Remember-notes-mode could be used to annotate video streams for 
lawyering professional essential workers.  For example, to note when 
people slip on banana peel which must be picked up within a well 
defined time margin in public space maintained by robot cleaning 
machine.

Subwindow glyph functionality would be exceptionally useful in Emacs, see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2019-04/msg01188.html

Currently, we do many hacks to bring video/animations into Emacs, thanks to
:base_uri svg functionality to make it more or less acceptable
