An important thing to note here is motive. The Linux Foundation is housing this "Core Infrastructure Initiative" project, and so they are the ones who get all the money. "The Initiative's funds will be administered by the Linux Foundation and a steering group comprised of backers of the project as well as key open source developers and other industry stakeholders." So, it might be in the interest of these people to not necessarily fix bugs. They might be interested in other things, like ownership. Though, this may be a bit irrational.
