You are NOT allowed to "bump" this.  We know about the bugs.
Nobody is submitting patches to solve them.  What should we do?
Wave a magic wand that fixes bug?  Believe me, if I had such a
magic wand, I'd spend all day waving it.

You don't understand what the bug tracker priority messages mean,
so don't comment on them.

Ditto.  My goal is not to insult you into feeling bad; my goal is
to insult you into HELPING US FIX THINGS.  Learn scheme.  Join the
Frogs.  Contribute to lilypond.  If everybody sits around saying
"why doesn't somebody fix this", then it WILL NEVER BE FIXED.
