I privmsg'ed you a way to do at least some of this:
- add a AOptions*opts at the end of AVCodec, like pix_fmts (can also
be done in AVMuxer if necessary) and then rename it to AVStuffOption
- make this an array of, per codec:

AVOption options = {
   { "bitrate", TYPE_INT, OFFSET_IN_STRUCT(MyCodecContext, bit_rate), rest },
   { ... },
};

    open_codec,
    close_codec,
    encode_frame,
    &options (or NULL, if none)
};

This allows setting, help and listing, see libavcodec/opt.h. I don't
know how to do defaults, I guess you might add a function pointer to
set defaults like you did or specify a default in the AVOption
struct...
