As of today this falls in the category of "NO to projects depending on unconvinced maintainers". In this case the Commons maintainers.

If the Commons community is happy to take this format, fine. But we need to know before the deadline for accepting projects. Or you need to change your strategy.
Another question is of course how feasible is to include "adding *.wav support* to commons" in the scope of your project.
In my extension i plan on adding 5 second recordings of words, 5 seconds
of .wav would be at max 200 kb more than 5 seconds of .ogg(worst case).I dont see any harm in that.
Is an exclusive permission possible ?
Relevant: WAV audio support via TimedMediaHandler https://bugzilla.wikimedia.**org/show_bug.cgi?id=32135https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32135
Good to see that mdale is already involved there.
Micheal has been really helpful uptill now
