What do you find interesting about ffmpeg and git ports? Why do you need to know about them?
Porting them is trivial, but maintaining them is not, especially a better version.
It's not rocket science. Everyone can prompt "rewrite it in Rust" and abandon the project in a few months. There is no novelty.
If there is something novel in the port, people usually write an article about that or at least mention it in the README.
