Except possibly for the one getting the money.  But of course LilyPond
is quite definitely short of manpower and if you see fit to change that,
by all means go ahead.

You say "I love that the more you use LilyPond, the easier and faster it
starts getting results.", and our learning materials are not necessarily
best-suited for learners, and often some information only gets provided
by asking on the list.

Systematic work on the learning materials for that reason is something
that can be quite valuable, and the existing developers will be doubly
motivated in answering your questions.
