Well, can you share a link with us?

I find it hard to believe that sun had a 100-strong team on OO, but I
am ready to be proved wrong.

This is an interesting article on LWN:

In particular see this comment:

I thought I would test this new openness to contributions.

3 yeas ago I filed a bug report with code fix included.
http://tools.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=80637
Result: nothing.

Last night I sent a patch with that code fix to the new project.
Result: it is in the git tree already.

This looks promising!!!"

This seems to indicate that interaction with the community was not
going well, or else that the OO team was so small that need not have
time to examine and take a small patch.
