I just noticed:
>>> Messages generated by process 2938733 on 2023-07-09 12:58:24 CEST for package media-gfx/shotwell-0.32.1:

LOG: postinst
Install additional packages for optional runtime features:
  media-libs/libavif[gdk-pixbuf] for Enable support for the AVIF format

and I thought that maybe it would be interesting to enable gdk-pixbuf USE flag for gnome profiles. Looking to the descriptions of the USE flag in different packages, I think that it wouldn't harm and, gdk-pixbuf is a central part in the Gnome ecosystem... I think that any optional support for it would be welcomed.

Thanks

It will also be useful for HEIF images (media-libs/libheif[gdk-pixbuf])
