Do you know of a precedent of something like that happening: somebody
taking external code and properly turning it into FFmpeg code?

Doing the cosmetic change so that the foreign code looks like FFmpeg
code is easy. Understanding the foreign code enough to maintain as part
of our project is a much harder task. We should not let somebody
undertake it just because they were able to achieve the easy task.
