Hi. As I explained earlier in the “Subtitle Filtering Ramp-Up” thread:
Any non-trivial progress on libavfilter requires touching the format negotiation code. The format negotiation code is very fragile and has almost no test coverage at all. Touching it as is would be suicidal. Therefore, any non-trivial progress on libavfilter requires first adding test coverage on the negotiation process. I started a long time ago: https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2022-August/299593.html but it is extremely boring work, I got bored and I could not take some air working on AVWriter. I do not intend to do boring things unless I can have some freedom doing fun things too. It is boring, but it is not very hard. Which is why I think it would be a good candidate to throw money at, if we have money that we can throw at needs. It could take the form of bounties: one line of coverage ⇒ one amount of money. It could work because there is an objective criterion: the test must pass as is but fail if we artificially remove or alter the line of code it covers. I can advise on the technical matter, I can review patches, list parts of the code that require coverage and explain what they do. But I do not know how do do the money part.
