It's much simpler: if you run into a missing bug/feature, report it to the maintainers and ask them to assign it to you.

If each individual licensee is itching their own scratches, then there's a really good chance the entire codebase gets love.

Absolutist approaches are the death of all good things. "Some" is better than "none."

"Absolutist approaches are the death of all good things"

Agreed. Hence "can" and not "must".
