To the AVStream yes. You can see them with something like:
  ./ffprobe -v 0 -of flat -show_entries stream_tags=rotate in.3gp
  streams.stream.0.tags.rotate="90"

(look for "rotate" in libavformat/mov.c)

I see libavcodec/exif.c and a dependency on it for mjpeg:
  configure:mjpeg_decoder_select="dsputil hpeldsp exif"

So it might already be exported, but better check.

Look at how a filter is initialized (libavfilter/avfilter.c,
avfilter_init_dict()). You can probably transmit the metadata dictionary
as well (by merging with the options dict or something).
