I realize that the developers are volunteers and are able to chose what interests them and where they would like to work. But they do not even give any feedback or even tell us they will not help us and we should learn to live without it.
Doing so would require one person to speak for all developers. It is probably a much better idea for you to lower your expectations. If you don't hear anything, chances are very high it is not on anyone's to-do list at all. If you learn to live without it and then someone implements it two years later, it's a positive surprise for you, which is surely better than two years of constant frustration :)
