My understanding from adjacent threads in this discussion is that Google does in fact make significant upstream contributions to FFmpeg. Per policy those are often made with personal emails, but multiple people have said that Google’s investment in FFmpeg’s security and codec support have been significant.

(But also, while this is great, it doesn’t make an expectation of a patch with a security report reasonable! Most security reports don’t come with patches.)
