libwebp (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1294490)

http://developers.google.com/speed/webp - Chrome uses it.  They fuzz it
(including with private fuzzing).

It's in OSS-fuzz: see
https://groups.google.com/a/webmproject.org/forum/#!topic/webp-discuss/aqHRxQqJpH0

I don't believe we're fuzzing the patches yet, but I imagine we will.

You can see how they handle releases above.  Version 1.0.0 was cut in
April (though there were a number before then).
See https://chromium.googlesource.com/webm/libwebp

I don't know how they track sec issues; probably similar to other
google/chrome/chromium projects.
See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webp/issues/list
You can report issues as "Security" issues.

(Personal opinion) Yes, unfortunately.  And AV1F image format both isn't
ready and isn't universally supported; it will take a while.
