Somewhat distressing to see that the following notice first appeared in a December 2021 update note[0] and has been repeated and updated regularly ever since!
> GraphicsMagick really does need some additional productive volunteers. For several years now, the burden has entirely been on me. I have been sheparding the project for 19 years already (and contributed to ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick combined for 25 years already). It is not reasonable to expect someone with a full time job (and expecting to retire in a couple of years) to do all of the work.
So… don’t do the work? Or sell commercial licenses?
I never understood why developers do free work and then complain when they aren’t compensated or are overburdened. Nobody is going to throw money and resources at you out of good will. You have to ask for it. And by ask for it I mean demand it.
