Hmm, good point.
That's not _quite_ my official policy, though -- my "official" policy
is "nobody is actively maintaining convert-ly, so it's not worth
making a fuss about those bugs". Just like ancient notation, or
midi2ly, or midi output, or a host of other aspects of lilypond. I
mean, if somebody seems really concerned about it, then it's worth
adding an issue, but it's a matter of community relations rather than
actual bug-fixes.
I'm a bit disappointed that nobody's stepped forward to "take
ownership" of convert-ly and midi2ly, BTW. They're both fairly
self-contained programs, dealing with a limited problem domain, and
written in python, which is one of the easiest languages to learn. I
mean, they're ideal candidates for people wanting to do some useful
programming... you don't even need to be able to compile lilypond in
order to work on those programs! :)
