Not necessarily. It just takes someone to do it ;) Note that most gfortran developers actually sacrifice their spare time to contribute, without receiving any kind of financial reward for it. I contributed large parts of the OOP implementation when I was a student (with some funding via GSoC). Nowadays my day job and private life keeps me from spending too much time on gfotran, but I still try to contribute the occasional bug fix if I can.
