I have seen those arguments too, but ...

*input* library has nothing to do with *output* library. "Print to PDF" works
for many years already, so "copy to PDF and add annotations" might be an easy
enough task to do, even if it was outside poppler. (The separation might even
be positive.)

Spare time service does not imply unprofessional or lousy although the current
status quo does seem that way. It would be at least nice to see some priority
list of the bugs to know how far in the queue we are.

Besides that I think there *are* paid people who contribute to okular and KDE
in general.
