ASP.NET frameworks are not transferred to the community, they just opened the source and applied the Apache license. Microsoft still has to approve every patch.
Adobe did that with Flex way back in 2008.
AFAIK the problem with Adobe was that it didn't have well established model (and resources) for accepting community requests and code. Maybe MS will be able to handle that with more success...

I just saw the MS release about putting ASP.NET MVC, Web API, Razor (asp.net 
web pages) out as open source to CodePlex under the Apache license, and the 
response was completely opposite of Adobe's handling of Flex.  Pretty much sums 
up how badly Adobe botched it.
