We have been doing this lately; when we hit a roadblock with open source, we run Claude code for fixing OSS issues and contributing back. We genuinely put effort into testing it out thoroughly.

We don't want to bother maintainers, as they can focus on more important issues. I think a lot of tail-end issues and bugs can be addressed in OSS.

We leave it up to the maintainers to accept the PR or not, but we solve our problems as we thoroughly test the changes.
