That's a problem but a smaller one.
The big problem is the culture difference. Sending a patch and getting the typical rough response back would make them loose their face in front of their colleagues.

Agreed, on the cultural differences. I think that the barriers spoken of are real, and tangible. IMO to pretend that they do not exist, is somewhat naive.

Other companies would be wise to do the same (hire experienced open source people to help bridge the cultural gap).
