I know that; if he did, I'd have been pestering him about this once a
week, the past four years. This is just my yearly request.
FWIW, I'm not doing LilyPond development for a living.

I can imagine that. Dave was spot-on in his first listing of LilyPond
seven years ago. But we've been working the living daylight out of
our lives, the past eight years, and that why I send a yearly please
update note.

Ok, I suggest this new entry with catchline straight from
http://linuxmusician.com, with list of items. Here we go, (html
version attached below):
[1]GNU LilyPond: One of the best-known and most ambitious music
programs for Linux is the LilyPond score engraving system.
* makes beautiful prints, seeks to to [2]revive the aesthetics of
traditionally engraved music through automated engraving engine
* easy to type, text based input
* extensive [3]documentation, including [4]tutorial and a
[5]glossary of musical terms for non-native English speakers
* prompt support by heavy development and active user community
* ready to print music scores from the [6]Mutopia Project
* import filters: abc2ly, etf2ly (Finale), midi2ly, mup2ly,
musedata2ly and [7]xml2ly
