I want Godot to support loading “retro” or “old-school” formats such as indexed color images, like GIFs, Gif Animations, 1-bit Bitmaps, XM and Midi + Soundfont file formats.

I don’t think most people care about these these formats, despite not knowing much about them. I have some coding experience in C, Javascript and Python. I think I will need to add this stuff myself.

Where do I start?

you need to make modules for it.

you can start from here.

Thank you. I haven’t made the leap of faith to Godot 3 so, I will write a few modules for Godot 2.14 stable. I hope it will be easily portable to Godot 3 stable when that comes.
