I mostly publish my own projects (where applicable/possible) as open source. I don't often submit patches (though I have in the past) because I usually end up using the software as is and it's fine; or I have to modify it in some way that is specific to the problem at hand (and thus, not useful to anyone else). I definitely don't have a problem with contributing changes, it just doesn't come up very often.
