I've written countless of patches / PRs for diverse OSS . Most of the times was to scratch an itch.
Most of the time as well the PR doesn't get accepted because of various reasons. I don't care. I do the PRs so that the code is out there. No I wont spent time making it "good enough " to merge into your repo. I provide it as is, and I'd someone likes it enough they can do the red tape.
Some of it has been just accepted and merged. Some was slightly modified by the repo owner before merging. Good for them.
I dont do open source code for the glory or to be popular, I do it because I like it .
