I use Linux on all my computers, but I wouldn't be volunteering to help fix kernel bugs, because I'm not competent to. I also compile C code now and then, but don't offer to fix GCC bugs. There may well be huge numbers of people who write Python code who don't feel they can contribute in that way (whether or not that's strictly true - after all, half of Python is written in Python anyway).
