I (like everyone I'm sure) would like to thank you for the work that you've 
done on lilypond development.  Most of my lilypond development centers on 
musical layout, and I'd have a hard time being motivated to do the type of work 
you do.  This type of work is of the utmost necessity, and I hope it can get 
farmed out amongst active developers in a way that makes you want to come back 
to your 15h/wk level with the project after getting over the spring-term hump.

I have dabbled in this, mostly because I do not know what is needed.  Python is 
my native language, so if people could start an automation wishlist, I can get 
things done over the next few months.  I'm terrible at brainstorming this type 
of stuff but ok at implementing anything that falls outside of git.  Just lemme 
know.

Cheers,
