 While it may be a fact that you *could* fix open source software
 that's buggy because you have access to the source files, the
 likelihood of anyone besides the original author doing this is low for
 most open source software. 
 
    I've been doing it for 20+ years, as has pretty much everyone I know.

Speed of fix in my case is directly proportional to how much good beer or
hard cider I sip whilst examining code :)
