No one "supports" it. People will improve the bits that bother them. In the aggregate, these activities amount to more than you could ever pay to have done.

The beauty of open source model is it gives the desperately motivated the means to fix their problems in a way that benefits everyone.

It's all in isolation unless the trunk takes pull requests. Forking doesn't change that either. There's still got to be someone evaluating changes in light of their impact on 20 million lines of code.

^This. This is the hard part. Interdependencies and compat.
