That might be right for side-project in the beginning but what happens when they grow and thousands or even millions use them? There might come a point when you have too much work and not enough time to fix the bugs or develop new feature requests.

You don't owe anyone a bug fix. They can fix it themselves and merge request.

Sometimes, the OSS (a popular) owner can't even care to merge pull requests. Because it also takes time to read the code too and make decisions to merge.
