There are many other maintainers who apply a similar strategy and 
therefore deserve the same amount of flaming.

This still would require
a) "reporter" to be interested in getting involved upstream
b) "reporter" to be "technically able" to get involved upstream.

In many cases, one or both considerations do not apply.
