While it's unfortunate that the release process is now delaying your
GSoC work, it's not exactly like there was a scheduling conflict.

Your mileage may vary.  You are irritated because a piece of purportedly
solid code is laying dormant for half a year.  I am irritated because so
few people can be bothered with getting release-critical stuff under
control that the stable release of LilyPond 2.18 has been dragging on
for half a year.  This thread is titled "2.18 release plans" and you use
it for trying to divert resources to your own priorities and complaining
when people don't respond in a timely or favorable manner.

For you it might feel like a conspiracy against your work.  But there is
more than just your work to be done, and different people have different
priorities and focus.  It is likely also in your own interest if the
release of 2.18 moves forward even if you don't see it that way.  If you
think I am lousy at managing the circumstances surrounding the release
work, feel free to volunteer do this job next time.
