Marcelo is a volunteer, and maintaining the 2.4 kernel is not his full
time job. Marcelo isn't beholden to people demanding a kernel release
NOW NOW NOW. If you want that type of support, you have to pay for it.

I consider my personal obligation as "do my best as time and sanity
allows." Demanding of people what they already give freely is a poor
way to motivate.
