Maybe Richard is stating the obvious because people are not listening:
Richard cannot contribute these comments since he does not understand
the code in question, and other people are apparently simply
ignoring his requests for adding comments (except for a few welcome
exceptions).

Your messages seem to imply that this is Richard's fault if the code is
undocumented and that he can't document it. I find that pretty unfair
and representative of the fact that too many people are still considering
adding documentation as unimportant and boring work. This is apparently
your case, which I find too bad.
