Haha, yes. Time is a thing no one can make for me. But they cannot make it for themselves either. So I take what is offered gratefully and make what I can from it.
But they didn't give you the only tool you really needed: Time.
Having meaningful access to the source is very important, but its value is limited because even small improvements often take a large amount of time especially to code you're unfamiliar with. Once you've made that improvement, maintaining it (or up-streaming it so someone else might maintain it) can take a tremendous amount of time.
