When either

1. the number of future (potential) users is smaller than the number of

At this point LilyPond Software Design (that's me) can't justify putting 
more work into convert-ly when it doesn't bring in any money.

You might want to try your luck with displayLilyMusic though. With that, 
it should be possible to read something with \oldaddlyrics and rearrange 
it for \lyricsto. You could even sponsor me for writing this code.
