I've recently become aware of the LCECV [1] codec. That's sadly partly free. It would be amazing if someone for GSoC could "invent" something like LCEVC. ffmpeg would probably be a nice place for that. The knowledge certainly is in this community! The result would be an alternative - and open - alternative to LCEVC. I kinda like this codec concept because it manages to get out higher quality with current hardware and current codecs that those codecs on their own can't reach. See [2] for much more information if you're interested. Just an idea.
