Yepp, ages ago (around early 2002)...

Hmmh, I don't understand.  In Lily 2.7.x, in define-music-types.scm, 
LigatureEvent has "(types . (general-music span-event ligature-event 
event))", i.e. it is a SpanEvent, or am I missing something?  In Lily 
2.11.x, it is implemented as StreamEvent, due to Erik's changes.  How is 
this related to "command-event" (which, btw, I could not find in the 
sources)?

Probably yes, at least in many cases, as far as I understand.

Speaking for me personally, it's more a problem of time lacking rather 
than of sponsoring (I even did not yet get acquainted with the git 
versioning system)...  But there may be other people interested.

Me! :-)

(Oh, you are right, it's difficult to find me on the web, since my old 
home page unfortunately died a while ago; there is now a new one at 
www.juergen-reuter.de).
