More egoless than open-source software is probably not possible.

Well, I'm sure you are to submit patches for all of these for you
important features.

No, mainly because if people are programming stuff primarily for fun in
their free-time, there are more rewarding challenges than supporting old
features or making upgrades plug-n-play for other.
Open-source is about: *You* want something? Then write patch (or do
whatever is necessary to get it done) *yourself* or *you* find (and
motivate, e.g. with money) someone to do it for *you*.
Whining on public mailing lists usually doesn't help.
