Well I'm more a user than a developer but I already have helped others users by responding to issues in someone's else repo.

Recently I've opened an issue on a project I really appreciate, and I'm so sorry I don't have time right now to help the developers solve it. And so I don't blame them either.

When I'll have more time/skills I will totally stick around, keep giving feedback and maybe propose PR if he hasn't solved the issue by then. But I really don't feel like signaling a serious issue without PR was spamming them.

And who know maybe I'll become a contributor one day if I can. But right now, had I been "forced" to submit a Pull request I would have either submitted a really crappy one or more likely censor myself...

Here is the issue if you feel like having a look : https://github.com/pgRouting/osm2pgrouting/issues/167
