  Then they find someone competent who can do the job for them, they pay
him and he follows the process for them. That's the alternative, and since
it's OSS anybody with basical technical knowledge can learn about it and
then sell such services.

       time is money
  knowledge is money

  Then they can get inject money in a third party and get them to do it 
for them ! They just need to make sure those people do follow the process
so that their patch get in upstream and they won't have the problem again
when they upgrade.
