Writing the code for a open source project demands a lot more perfection than people realize. It is a lot more work than getting a programm just to work nicely.

Up to a point, I agree. For larger changes, it would require community outreach, internal communication with other devs, testing, feedback, etc.

But there are also a lot of small "easy wins" that require none of that to be a good addition to the code.
