Apologies for my late response. I have been swamped with other things...

I'm willing to give it a try. Yet, just submitting the package and
getting it into Fedora is probably not enough. Some co-ordination with
RPMFusion would be needed, I guess. And consuming packages would need to
be updated to properly use the new library.
If anyone could guide/assist me with that, I'd be grateful.

It may be possible to build the plugin independently and link to
libheif, but at the minimum, that's what I expect.
The above exchange I do not quite grasp. I guess this is about making
libheif-av1 (the Av1 only libheif, yet to be packaged) play nicely
together with the unfree libheif (providing HEIF/libde265) provided by
RPMFusion.
To set things in motion I will try my hands on building a AV1 only
libheif package and take it from there.
