Background
The [Sovereign Tech Fund https://www.sovereigntechfund.de/programs/applications] sponsors work on open digital base technologies that are vital to the development of other software or enable digital networking.
We secured funding for [FFMPEG activities in 2024 https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/SponsoringPrograms/STF/2024].
We plan on doing so again and below is our application.

Template
One line summary of the proposed work
Example: Classify and fix outstanding issues identified by Coverity
Description of the work
Example: Coverity is a static code analysis system that is used to analyze FFmpeg code to find bugs with an emphasis on quality and security issues. There are currently 677 outstanding issues identified by Coverity (https://scan.coverity.com/projects/ffmpeg?tab=overview). Some of these issues are false positives while others could open the door to security vulnerabilities. The objective of this work is to identify the Coverity issues that are not false positives, and fix as many as possible.
Milestones
Milestone 1
Description
Example: Review all outstanding Coverity issues and, for each one, determine whether it is a false positive.
Deliverables
Example: List of both false positive and real issues posted to the FFMPEG dev mailing list.
Requested compensation (in USD or Euros)
Milestone 2
Etc.
