Feel fortunate that you are getting any downloads at all :)

In my experience, if you are really lucky, perhaps one in a hundred 
people who download a package will comment about it.

You can't force people to comment. Do you have a blog where you can 
report new functionality or bug fixes? That might help drive interest.

Sure, why not? If the package is feature complete, then why keep making 
changes to it just for the sake of change?

As frustrating as it is, you should expect that unless you have thousands 
of users, or tens of thousands, you won't get much feedback.

If you are writing software for fame and attention, you're in the wrong 
industry :)

BTW, I have no need for your software, but that doesn't mean it isn't a 
good and valuable piece of work. Thank you for sharing it with the 
community, even if only a few people find it useful.
