How many fixed the problem and never published the fix?
Not many I bet, at least not for significant bugs. Perhaps trivial one
liners.
At least I do it quite often. I have submitted too many patches to
projects where I got no reaction at all. (The latest one was
OpenCA; boy, that code is in a bad state for a security-related
software project.)
Therefore, if this is a project where I didn't have contact before,
I try the waters first and send a small patch that can be made with
modest effort. If there comes no reaction (and I recognize that an
email with "your patch is not used because we want to do it
differently" is a reaction), I simply drop it and fix the irking
bugs in my private copy.
