As I understand, at least for smaller patches it is actually more work
to apply a patch than than to write it. With that in mind, are there
really sufficient volunteer resources available to review and merge
these corporate contributions if they come? The issue tracker certainly
does not lack issues with unreviewed and/or unapplied patches...
