Frankly, open source is more of a distribution model than a way to solicit free work from outside developers. As a developer paid to work on a popular open-source product with paying customers, most of the outside PRs I see are small tweaks that address very specific use cases, not major new functionality. Those are certainly welcome, but those kinds of contributions are not going to make or sustain the product.
