Dear Tadeusz, I can't comment on LMCS internal workings, but of course all scientific processes rely on a lot of unremunerated work frpom scientists. The organization of a conference is similar in this respect. (Of course I'm very grateful to the people doing this work on both sides!) Or is there a more specific claim that LMCS has researchers doing work that is done by paid staff in other venues like JFP, as opposed to the work we consider normal to ask our colleagues to do? My own experience of publishing workshop post-proceedings at EPTCS (an arxiv overlay) was nowhere the scale of a full journal, but I don't believe that it involved any "extra" work compared to what is expected of our researcher colleagues when preparing, say, a new PACMPL issue.
