I contribute sometimes to fix some bugs. In your opinion I should be forced to learn graphics/OpenGL to contribute to KWin, or design to submit themes because some dude does not likes the corner radius of a button or implement features that I do not need but some entitled person wants and I should spend my free time implementing that while he is playing some video game.

Open source does not work like that, if a company wants something it will pay a full time developer to implement it, if a user wants something he needs to implement it or find someone to implement it, this may mean you may want to pay someone or convince a maintainer to implement it.

What KDE needs is a billionaire to hire a few developers to go trough the bug tracker and fix some bugs.
