I appreciate the effort of the contributors. (Yes, it's voluntarily, they don't have to…)

Yes, they don't have to, and can't be told to ... its one of the joys, and the pains, of such projects.

I do totally appreciate large companies contributing to open source software, but their employees can be told to. And that has set certain expectation levels around all open source, so when you asked for something (nicely and politely, thank you :-) and quoted several such projects and your expectation level it was important to ensure you didn't expect a certain level of response, and when it wasn't forthcoming tell everyone "I asked those Geany [...]s and they did nothing". User expectation management, also one of the joys and pains of volunteer projects. 😁

Also maybe you might have been the "somebody" if you cared enough and had enough time and skills, oh well, can only ask.

(This is what I rather like at Linux distribution with good repository management β€” and what is a disadvantage and potential risk of FlatPak, Snap, AppImage.)

Totally agree.
