Description

We (CC: @tp-m @MathieuDuponchelle) maintain a bunch of meson ports of projects that don't seem to be interested in the ports in gstreamer. We haven't submitted them to wrapdb because it would double our maintenance burden.

Maybe we can have a way to add wrapdb entries that point to a tag in an external git repository? Would also be a good way to transition people from wrapdb to upstream if/when build files get merged upstream.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/meson-ports (actually we need to prune libsrtp from there and probably add opus)
