Going a bit off-topic here but open source is partly a cultural test. There are great programmers who are 9-5 and there are terrible enthusiasts, but involvement does mean that people are going to be speaking the same language to a large extent - and the biggest overhead in delivery teams is usually communication.

In fairness, there are a lot of great programmers who work on projects they really believe in and spend all of their available free time dedicated to them. Even if they're for the company/enterprise/startup they work for.

Are they by some chance mostly male, under 35 and without families?

Yes, but so are most programmers that do open source work or side projects in their spare time.
