It's not the same as accountants and lawyers. They know roughly how long a set of accounts or a legal operation will take from experience. These changes are one-off. Many of the maintenance projects in FFmpeg can't be easily split up into the simple examples you provide. FFmpeg is hugely coupled, one change in code like YUVJ affects a lot of unrelated things. It's not at all easy to cost this work. The threading changes took the best part of a year and are still ongoing. This does not lend itself well to SoW/bounties.
