I sometimes wonder if you could make a name for yourself by being the Johnny Appleseed of FOSS. Go around to many projects and fixing a longstanding open ticket on each.
You'll have tons of github repos and stars, if nothing else.
People definitely do this, it's not uncommon. I also need to spend more time contributing to FOSS, it's a great idea.
