Really sorry to hear that, but it's great to have you back!
Ditto. I wish that you would have had better luck with that endeavor...
So for the short time range, I am again dependent
on support by other LilyPond lovers.
I'll definitely turn on my financial contribution again.
Ditto, although it's just a drop in a mostly empty bucket...
So what's next on my agenda?

And, of course, this is an opportunity to try putting out the 2.20
release finally.
Definitely the top priority, IMO.
+1. A personal wish: I think that \lyricsto ChoirStaff = "ctx" { ... }
has the potential to be a killer feature w.r.t. usability for choir
literature (especially combined with the upcoming automatic extenders).
Unfortunately, assignment of lyrics to *container* contexts does not
work (at least, not reliably), and extender generation is completely
defunct. I reported that in a thread from 2016-12-26 on bug-lilypond,
but could not motivate any supporters yet.
I saw a comment by you that you are aware of the issue; can't remember
where, it was at some point during my (unsuccessful) debugging streak
for the problem - might well be a very old comment in the issue tracker
or a commit message or the like. May I kindly ask you to have a look
and think about whether this might be tackleable before 2.20? I have no
good intuition for the complexity of this issue; the *specification*
part should be reasonably simple (which syllable corresponds to which
note(s)), but I don't know what kind of difficulties the current design
presents for actually coding it.
Cheers,
Alexander
