some preliminary work has been done to make implementing a new backends
easier (we have removed some incorrect assumption from the code). That
said, we didn't start the documentation for implementing a new
backends. Implementing sdl2 backend would require some work on figuring
things out from the source code.

I think it is doable by one person, but not easy (I don't have much
experience with backends yet, so this opinion may be misleading).

Best ragards,
Daniel
