For me, FLOSS is mainly about the users, less about the projects themselves. I care more about the product, the piece of software that you can download, use and modify in any fashion you want. Most users of any popular piece of libre software don't contribute back, whether it's bug reports or patches. Even if it's targeted at developers, most don't do it. There is certainly value in community practices that encourage productivity and make it easy for individuals to get into. But they are only means to an end, it's not the end itself. For me, users should be at the center, not the developers.
