After first thoughts about ignoring your message: No, I don't feel
underappreciated. 
Well, I'm not a member of the core team, I don't contribute much code. I
am just trying to answer questions on r-help and to fix some bugs. I
don't earn any money for providing help, fixing bugs or contributing
code.

When I have got a statistical problem that cannot be solved with recent
functions of R or any of the packages on CRAN, I write one or several R
functions, write a little documentation and put it together into a
package.
Most of the things are not worth to be published, but if it is worth, I
put it on CRAN.

My understanding of the R project is that everybody should do it
similar, because that's from my point of view the spirit of this
wonderful GNU project.

R provides the tools for easily documenting and packaging functions.
