P.S. although there have not been very many users testing ffmpeg 7.0, I have found no problems with it and I believe that Andrea uses it frequently also with no new reported issues. I am in the process of outlining a set of tests to run, i.e. a "test suite", when a library like ffmpeg is updated but still working on it. So, unless Andrew-R thinks it is still too soon, I was planning on checking in FFmpeg 7.0 and patches this week and making new AppImages on May 31.

+2 for testing branch. (wink, wink).
Actually Sam had wanted me to switch to Github as more standard and I attempted to do this quite some time ago, and ended up damaging the current Git database. Fortunately I was able to recover, but I can barely do most of what I do already, although I plan on continuing this for at least another 17 years because I do not want to see Cinelerra fade away. People come and go and I am not sure if a similarly dedicated person would want to be responsible long term for CinGG maintenance/moderation.
However, when/if I find time, I will make another attempt at getting to Github and adding a "testing" branch.
