It's all open-source, done in the spare time of volunteers who have a need and/or desire to work on it.
In my case, I add features I need for work, and fix bugs that get in my way or may cause my users trouble. And sometimes fix bugs that just plain annoy me. There may be features and topics people are working on, but no centralized plan or roadmap. Patches and test cases are always welcome, many fixes and features come in that way. That's how I got started - I wanted formulas to evaluate faster, so I dug in, found an avenue for improvement, submitted a patch, got good feedback from committers about impacts I hadn't thought of, reworked the patch, submitted it, and had it applied. My work got what it needed, open source got better, and the end product was better than my individual efforts alone, a multiplier my boss could understand.
