There's nothing wrong with that attitude. There's no reason why he should be doing work without pay.

If people send him bug fixes and he refuses to merge them, that's something else. But he doesn't have to work for nothing. I assume that whatever money he may be receiving from the German government may be used for other kinds of developments, not bugs that don't affect him.
