I am definitely talking about separate implementations, QUIC could be in 
OTP or third party and HTTP/3 would just sit in Cowboy/Cowlib.

What HTTP/3 would provide to QUIC development is a use case that uses 
most of the features from QUIC and would allow optimizing QUIC. I'm 
thinking for example of the synchronization part of QPACK, of the 
different types of streams QUIC is using, and so on.

I don't think HTTP/3 would have a significant impact on the features of 
the QUIC library though. There might be an exception to that, and that's 
currently an unknown due to the lack of consensus, and that is the 
priority mechanism. It's arguably more into optimization territory as 
well though.

So yes it's fine to work on them separately. I just think about the full 
picture since I'm mostly interested in HTTP myself. If I started working 
on this today I would focus on getting the HTTP/3 part before QUIC 
because I'm more interested, not because of any coupling between the two.
