Oh, and do we want to still shoot for the premade Filters (in a menu) for this release too? I'd be happy to contribute some.

I think it'd make sense to do these with effects. Then some of the parameters could be tweakable. Something like a drop shadow where you could set the color and distance.

Indeed, now that I think of it, I see no reason not to implement these presets as Python scripts.

Could anyone please start by create a sample extension effect applying an SVG filter to the selection, programmed in such a way that anyone willing to add another effect would have to do minimum Python coding (ideally none at all)?
