I'd like to propose support for MongoDB GridFS as a source storage backend.
While S3-compatible object storage is the dominant choice today, there are still applications that store media assets in MongoDB GridFS, particularly long-lived systems that already use MongoDB as their primary data store.
Native GridFS support would allow imgproxy to access those assets directly instead of requiring an additional integration layer between imgproxy and the underlying storage.
I understand that GridFS is far less common than S3 and similar storage solutions, so I'm not sure whether such a backend aligns with the project's scope and long-term maintenance goals.
If the idea is generally acceptable, I'd be happy to prepare a pull request and help maintain the implementation.
