Pretty much accelerated hevc encoding already exist on the recent GPUs and there are commandline tools to use it, but you have to do with the quality it provides, not much to improve upon.
Perhaps they could offload motion estimation section, after all, both Intel and Nvidia (no AMD) support external motion estimation mode only. Then again........it probably will be rejected in the name of 'open source' where there is no room for proprietary code or maybe there isn't any speed gain from it....or nobody is willing to work on it....pick one ~.~
