Yes many people are selfish about open source and do not understand how it works, you have a point here, but the low activity of many ASF projects is more an indication of a failure in the ASF project management, with the concept of the PMC showing its flaws. For example, the Xalan-Java project has two pull requests here: https://github.com/apache/xalan-java/pulls The first one (that I posted) was just ignored and the other one wasn't merged in the end. Someone asked on JIRA (XALANJ-2633) which Github repo is appropriate to send PRs, zero responses. So you can tell people that they should get involved, but if they did they would most likely be ignored.
