"I'll try to be more responsive in the future" is appreciated,
but not what I'm trying to invite. Everyone has their job,
life, worries etc. Infrastructure relying on a single person
is bound to know periods of bitrot. How about finding other people
to share administration of the LSR?

I think it's not really used at the moment because the LilyPond
version is 8 years old. I at least will definitely use it more when
it gets updated to 2.22.
