The open source development model is "scratch your itch". Stuff gets developed
because people have problems and solve them. Apparently nobody has a
sufficiently large itch to both scratch it and submit the result to the
project.

The main difference between a project like this and a commercial product is
that here there are no product managers defining roadmaps and writing
requirements, but people bring solutions to problems *they* face or find
interesting. So, if this is a thing you really care about: do a git checkout
and start hacking. "Patches welcome".

And you're not being vilified. Your communication style is a tad, um,
abrasive, and sometimes hard to deal with.
