How will this change OSS development? Do we need additional patent lawyers filing patents for every open source idea? What happens when someone makes a commit today and then mega-patent troll notices this tomorrow? They certainly will beat me to filing the patent.

It won't, as long as you clearly comment your code and explain what everything is and what it does. You should be doing that anyway for an OSS project.
