The first is that every single line of code, the testing of every single line of code, every bit of documentation, all the web-site maintenance, etc., etc., is done on a volunteer basis by people who, in addition to all the work they put into the GIMP, have real-life demands on their time, such as professions that pay their bills. Those who maintain the GIMP are under absolutely no obligation to do so, and there's no "GIMP Ltd." or some such that owes its existence to the sale of copies of the GIMP. So, be nice to these people. Aside from the satisfaction of creating a fabulous piece of software, it's the only thanks they get. BTW, emphasis is customarily suggested in these lists by enclosing material to be emphasised/ in forward slashes.
