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. :grin:

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

Totally agree.
