It's even more annoying when you actually submit a patch and the maintainers end up fixing the issue themselves. All that time you spent exploring the project and studying the code to figure out how to do it yourself? Wasted. The people who already know the code and have all the context can fix whatever issue in minutes and in a better way.

It's also very discouraging (and unfair) for new comers not to get credit for that work.
Yeah that happens quite a bit, too.
