I happen to be an active user of ob-lilypond. Lilypond is certainly
peripheral to the world of programming languages. It is well established
and active as an equivalent of LaTeX for music though ([1][2][3]).
It comes with built-in support for Emacs [4].

I see no reason to not move ob-lilypond to org-contrib. I understand
that only few of us use it these days. I can’t stand up as a maintainer
since my Lisp skills and my knowledge of org-mode are quite insufficient
for that. I was happy to see that someone submitted a patch for
ob-lilypond in January. I hope that by the time something breaks I’ll be
able to submit a patch myself.

Victor
