Wouldn't they just fork it, fix their own bugs and stop contributing at all?

If you're going to fix the bug, why not in the main project?

Any time I have tried to fix a bug in an open source project I was immediately struck down with abusive attitudes about how I didn't do something exactly the way they wanted it that isn't really documented.

If that's what I have to expect, I'd rather not even interact with them at all.
