Hi, thanks a lot for reaching out and contributing to the GeoServer development. A WebP addition is quite interesting.
Can you elaborate a bit more of how the webp support is provided? That IMHO is going to be a driver to decide where to put the webp support. We have a precedent for native code embedded in GeoServer: both OSHI and the SQLite drivers rely on native code, and they are part of core, but with a few good features: - Widely used, normally rock solid (I haven't heard of reports of GeoServer segfaulting due to bugs in the native parts of those libraries) - The native portion is embedded in the jars (no extra installation needed) and covers a wide variety of operating systems and architectures, making them basically as cross platform as Java is If the WebP libraries provide any reason to doubt either stability, or are limited to a small number of platforms, or require manual installations of native libraries, then I'd start with a community module, which you can then graduate to extension later down the road.
