> Filipe receives essentially nothing for what he has done

It's indeed amazing. Do you know him personally? What does he do to earn a living? Does he do consulting on the side...?

In my (limited) experience he responds to issues almost immediately, and seems to be full-time on this; incredible.

He is currently employed by MOD Audio (and is the lead developer for the MOD software stack). For the rest he gets some donations via github/patreon/etc, but not nearly enough to make a living.

Oh wow, MOD Audio too? He's an absolute machine! The MOD Dwarf has inspired my own DIY guitar project.

He also became maintainer of JACK after I gave up my benign dictator for life position.
