LilyPond is not your only concern.  But you expect it should be the only  
concern of developers.  You feel it is shameful of them to  
mention "bounties" or any other kind of compensation.  You make a big fuss  
that you poor guy "have to hunt issues related to my reports myself and  
star them to get any updates".  You pontificate things like "Remember that  
sometimes casual reply/question directed to reporter (like "przemoc, mind  
that centered dynamics work different that in staff, so does the image  
below looks as it should?") can do wonders" and finish with "Please keep  
making LilyPond better. Cheers!".

Self-centered demanding and demeaning crap like that is what made Graham  
decide to finally quit working on LilyPond.  I certainly would prefer if  
users with that "benign slave-owner" attitude just went away instead of  
destroying what remains of a working community.

This does not belong in an issue report, but I would hardly be doing my  
fellow developers a favor by letting it stand uncontradicted.

If you think the most important thing you can teach a developer is manners,  
do everyone else a favor and choose a drunken bully in the next pub as your  
teaching object instead.  You'll be doing much less damage, have a better  
chance of actually having somebody learn something, and fewer people will  
be paying the price.
