This sounds like your problem and the world you are in. In my world I work for a company that offered a well paid devs months salary to get a bug fixed in OSS.

This sounds like your problem and the world you are in. In my world I work for a company that offered a well paid devs months salary to get a bug fixed in OSS. They didn’t have the time soon enough so we ended up fixing it ourselves and doing a PR. An OSS developer who wants to be paid needs to think like a business. They are more a business that happens to OSS. That would preclude certain OSS products while making others more viable. It is good to strategic. Best for most is to find a company to pay a salary for them to maintain it.
